    How to get Excel to list all possible combinations

    Hi again

    I have been doing some combination of a list of values manually, and it's getting a bit tedious, to be honest.

    So I was wondering if one can get excel to list all combinations of values from a list of values.

    In the attached workbook "C1:C5" contains the values to be combined and the cells "B1:B5" the number of times the value is to be used and finally cell "A1:A5" contains the names corresponding to the values.

    In column "F" I have listed all the possible combinations and in column "E" the corresponding combinations of names.

    Any help will be highly appreciated.

    In advance thank
    Erik

    Try look this for now...

    Value_Comb(1).xls

    However, right now I just wrote in Row1 values manually, and I need to get them automaticaly from table below, but I don't have time right now.. So I hope this is OK just for start...

    Hm, sorry, can't get them from table...

    Is it OK for you to choose them from drop down list (Row 1)?
