    Random Output

    Hi,

    Is it possible in Excel to create a formula that will produce a combination or random output? For example, I have 2 columns with the following data:

    Column 1 Column 2
    5 A
    7 B

    The following formula, "=COUNTA(A1:A11)*COUNTA(B1:B11)" works well to provide the total number of possible combinations. In this example, there's 4 possible combinations to combine data from Column 1 with data from Column 2


    Now, I'm looking for a formula that will actually produce a total possible output, such as following results:

    5A
    5B
    7A
    7B

    Please assist.


    Thanks
