    Identifying all Unique Combinations

    Hi all,

    I'm wondering if anyone might have a solution to this.

    I'm trying to run a formula that would show me all possible combinations of columns here, without repeating. Attached is a subset of many other "Sector's AND Program Inventories" and I want to display which one's are being used over a much larger set of data.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi.

    Thanks, but what I’m looking for requires more than that. I need it to scan the rows/columns, and identify all the unique combinations elsewhere within the same document, not the same subset of information unfortunately.

    **Array formulas are not entered in the same way as 'standard' formulas. Instead of pressing just ENTER, you first hold down CTRL and SHIFT, and only then press ENTER. If you've done it correctly, you'll notice Excel puts curly brackets {} around the formula (though do not attempt to manually insert these yourself).

    Thanks very much for this bebo. At first glance, this appears to work perfectly. You're a lifesaver (or at least a time saver!!!).

    Cheers!
