    Combinations/Permutations???

    Hi all,

    I am having a problem determining scheduling needs and hope someone can help me out with this.

    I have a list of pilots that are trained to fly three differenct aircraft types. I would like to generate a list that shows all the possible combinations on a weekly basis. They can only fly one aircraft type per day. The problem is that all three aircraft types (variables) are depandant and I do not kow how to handle this.

    I did a similar list with other staff trained on two aircraft types (below) and that was much simpler. If they are not flying one, they are flying the other. How do I generate a list with three aircraft types, showing all the different combinations?

    A1=Aircraft 1 A2=Aircraft 2 (the numbers are total worked shifts/week from the entire staff)
    A1 A2
