Hi,

My data are set in cells A6:V19 total 14 rows. I want to copy 2 rows at a time and paste them from A30 to down after every 2 row need 1 space for next copy….

For example A6:V7 “2 rows” want to copy in A30:V31 then one empty row, next A7:V8 “2 rows” want to copy in A33:V34 and so on….last rows will be the A18:V19

Example sheet attached…..

Hello kevin9999, hope all is well I need your help. Now I want to make copies of 12 rows of 6 lines sets using =COMBIN(12,6) = means total 924 combinations like copy line1&2&3&4&5&6, 1&2&3&4&5&7, 1&2&3&4&5&8 and so on up to 924 combinations. Please can you help so the code can work with the new layout as showed below?

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Now I want to make copies of 12 rows of 6 lines sets using =COMBIN(12,6)
This looks like a duplicate of your other thread: Combin copy total 924 sets where you ask the question:
But now I want to make copies of 12 rows of 6 lines sets using =COMBIN(12,6)
I'm not sure that you should be taking this approach. The other thread has had plenty of views (52 so far) but no responses as yet. This may be because what you're asking is too difficult for most people to solve - me included! If I was able to assist, I would. There are others on this forum more able than me, and if they're struggling with it...

Hello kevin9999, thank you for your prompt answer, yes it seems to me also challenging what I am asking for but I need it. I will wait if you can solve it.

Good Luck

Hello. I noticed that you have highlighted the original range and result range with a background color for cells containing "N.X" and with green font color for the serial numbers in column A. Is this intended to make it stand out for someone assisting you to easily see the differences, or is it how it is in your actual file?

To keep it simple, I will provide the raw results without formatting. If you wish to apply formatting, you can easily use conditional formatting after running the code (or create conditional formatting directly within the code).


Looking at the history of your topics, I see that your requirements have been quite diverse and varied at different times. Therefore, to help you easily make edits and modifications based on your specific needs, I will guide you through each step using my process.
Here is an explanation of my intention:
  1. For the 12 values in A6:A17, I will use 6 variables from i1 to i6 and loop through these variables to store the combinations in an array called "combi".For example:
    • combi(1,1) = 1-2-3-4-5-6
    • combi(2,1) = 1-2-3-4-5-7
    • combi(3,1) = 1-2-3-4-5-8
    • .........
    • combi(924,1) = 7-8-9-10-11-12
  2. Next, I will loop through each combination (combi) and refer to the source data to save each record into an array called "results" (res).For example:
    • For combi(1,1) = 1-2-3-4-5-6, create res(1,1) to res(1,n) = record 1
    • For combi(2,1) = 1-2-3-4-5-7, create res(2,1) to res(2,n) = record 2...
    • .........
Similar steps will be followed for the remaining combinations.
Please let me know if there's anything else I can assist you with.
VBA Code:
Option Explicit
Sub test()
Dim rng, combi(1 To 10000, 1 To 1), res(), sp, s
Dim i&, i1&, i2&, i3&, i4&, i5&, i6&, k&, t&, j&
rng = Range("A6:AA17").Value
ReDim res(1 To 100000, 1 To UBound(rng, 2))

'Create combi array: 1-2-3-4-5-6; 1-2-3-4-5-7;... until the 924th
For i1 = 1 To UBound(rng) - 5
    For i2 = i1 + 1 To UBound(rng) - 4
        For i3 = i2 + 1 To UBound(rng) - 3
            For i4 = i3 + 1 To UBound(rng) - 2
                For i5 = i4 + 1 To UBound(rng) - 1
                    For i6 = i5 + 1 To UBound(rng)
                        k = k + 1
                        combi(k, 1) = i1 & "-" & i2 & "-" & i3 & "-" & i4 & "-" & i5 & "-" & i6
                    Next
                Next
            Next
        Next
    Next
Next

'Loop through each num in each combine: 1;2;3;4;5;6 then 1;2;3;4;5;7 then ...
For i = 1 To k ' k=924
    sp = Split(combi(i, 1), "-") ' split 1-2-3-4-5-6 into 1,2,3,4,5,6
    For Each s In sp
        t = t + 1 ' loop through that 6 numbers
        For j = 1 To UBound(rng, 2)
            res(t, j) = rng(s, j)
        Next
    Next
    t = t + 1
Next
If t = 0 Then Exit Sub
Rows("25:100000").Delete
With Range("A25").Resize(t, UBound(res, 2))
    .Value = res
    .HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
    ' add more action here for this area: conditional formating, formatnumber,...
End With
End Sub

Outstanding! bebo021999, Hats off to you for doing such a magical work I am grateful to you and appreciate your kind help. 🥂

It is exactly how my data looks in the range: A6:AA17 these cells have applied conditional formatting.

To keep it simple, I will provide the raw results without formatting. If you wish to apply formatting, you can easily use conditional formatting after running the code (or create conditional formatting directly within the code).
If it can be possible to create conditional formatting directly within the code I will like if you can add it into the code that will be kind of you. :)

I am sorry to trouble you yes I need your support this is ended to copy =COMBIN(12,6) =924 combinations. I need to generate following also…how can I modify the code please need your assistance.
=COMBIN(12,2) =66
=COMBIN(12,3) =220
=COMBIN(12,4) =495
=COMBIN(12,5) =792
=COMBIN(12,6) =924…this is done by you which is perfect.
=COMBIN(12,7) =792

I am very happy getting a solution of my problem.

I wish you good luck and cheers to your bright future.

Kind Regards,
Kishan:)

Quick reply for combinations. Will comback for the CF within code.
In 6-combination case, you can see 6 i's variable and six for-loop were used (i1 - i6)

PHP:
For i1 = 1 To UBound(rng) - 5
    For i2 = i1 + 1 To UBound(rng) - 4
        For i3 = i2 + 1 To UBound(rng) - 3
            For i4 = i3 + 1 To UBound(rng) - 2
                For i5 = i4 + 1 To UBound(rng) - 1
                    For i6 = i5 + 1 To UBound(rng)
                        k = k + 1
                        combi(k, 1) = i1 & "-" & i2 & "-" & i3 & "-" & i4 & "-" & i5 & "-" & i6
Similar to 2- combination:
PHP:
For i1 = 1 To UBound(rng) - 1
    For i2 = i1 + 1 To UBound(rng)
                        k = k + 1
                        combi(k, 1) = i1 & "-" & i2 
....

Now come back with the CF:
At the end of code, replace with:

VBA Code:
With Range("A25").Resize(t, UBound(res, 2))
    .Value = res
    .HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter

'-------------------------------------------------------------------
'here is the new added
    With .FormatConditions.Add(Type:=xlCellValue, Operator:=xlEqual, Formula1:="N.X")
        .Interior.ColorIndex = 5
        .StopIfTrue = False
        .Font.ColorIndex = 2
    End With
    .Columns(1).Font.ColorIndex = 5
End With
'-----------------------------------------------------------

End Sub

Unbelievable bebo021999, but after trying I am speechless I tried with each every selection it clean all previous and replace with new combination magical work I like it very much! 👌

I appreciate your time you spent to solve my entire query gratefully and in the fine way.
