    How to combine a set of "Text" Data with irregular pattern?

    Hi,

    I have a set of data I would like to obtain all the potential combination of:

    The Data Set of 5 Columns as below and each as a random amount of cells that contain different text value

    Column 1: 3 cells
    Column 2: 49 cells
    Column 3: 3 cells
    Column 4: 53 cells
    Column 5: 49 cells

    I would like to see all the potential combination of that text with the 5 columns. I guess there is over 1 million combination which is a lot of manual typing.. does anyone have a formula i could scrol down a table to obtain the result? Its tricky because its text so not sure how i can handle it?

    Any help will be appreciated! Please note its combination im interested in and not permutation...if not it will be way over 1 million combinations..

    Attached is what i'm working on so you can get a better picture

    Thank you!
