    Is there a way to create a list of all 'available' values in a column?

    Hi all,

    I have 10 columns which contain various symbols/value.

    I have created a second column where I find the combinations of these 10 columns. I create this second column with the formula

    = Column 1 & Column 2 & ... & Column 10.

    Mathematically/theoretically, I assume there would be 10 x 8 10 = 800 possible combinations, but I don't think I have that many in actuality.

    It looks like this:

    Would it be possible to export this list somehow?

    The reason is that I want to create a frequency diagram/count of all possible combinations.

    I seem to recall doing this in the past with another set of data, but can't seem to recall how.

    Thanks in advance.

    Elijah

    in L2
    =IFERROR(INDEX(_C,MATCH(,INDEX(COUNTIF($l$1:l1,_C),),)),"")
    _C is the name of a column with = Column 1 & Column 2 & ... & Column 10
    and pull down

    Hi, Tim,

    Thank you!

    Sadly, I was not able to get that to work. It only returns a blank. I tried removing the IFERROR and then it simply says #NAME or something like that on all cells.

    Best regards.

    Hi, Jacc

    That worked out beautifully!

    It was as easy as selecting Data --> Advanced Filter and then 'copy unique values'.

    Ha en fin dag! : )
