This exercise might teach the students many interactions....

I wish to sequentially change 1,2,3,4,5,6 by one value at a time, up to a total of 39 numbers, 39!/(33!)(6!) = 3,262,623. With each sequence the current value in the 1,2,3,4,5,6 string will be compared against other cells. If a "true" is found, then other data line will be save ... then continue to the next sequence.

eg: 1,2,3,4,5,6 ...... 1,2,3,4,5,39, then 1,2,3,4,6,7, ..... 34,35,36,37,38,39.

As an example:

If, the sequence arrives to the value(s) of 1,7,18,30,33,37, and in the 33,0,0 cells I wish to make a >= choice of these values.... say if the 33 cell is >=33, and the next is >=0, and the next is also >=0, then copy and save to the area to the next available row at the bottom of the cells to the right of the 33,0,0 cells..... Then proceed to the next number in sequence, 1,7,18,30,33,38.

Thanks, Docwew

.... with the info in the #3's, #4's, and #5's (cells) being generated by a completely different sub-routine. The #3's, #4's, & #5's values will change as the 1,2,3,4,5,6 routine progresses.

There's a workbook at http://www.box.net/shared/nqljsd3nlu that will generate the combinations in lexical order, though there's not enough space to list 3M of them. If it's a learning exercise for students, as opposed to a lottery scheme, I'd think you could do with a smaller example.

Thank you for the lead. I think you have perhaps misunderstood what I am trying to do. I do not intend to save 3M+ results.... perhaps only 200-300 at the most once the parameters have been determined. So, once a value has passed "the" sift, then the six numbers, and the following three are then saved. ..... then, move to the next six number combination.

I will take a look at the URL you linked.

Thank you very much for your response.

I don't understand the 'sifting' part ...

I have not yet had time to study your reference (thanks again). But, for example if I set #3's>=44, #4's>=5, and #5's>=1 ......

When the repective values have been exceeded, the entire string is copied, but only if the "sift" criteria has been met. Once the resultant data stream has initially been viewed, then the threshold values for #3's, #4's, &#5's can be increased to reduce the number of results requiring copying.

Again, the "sift" will reduce the number of "string" values from 3M+ to more managable numbers, such as 200-300, or something like this ....

So for each number, you set a threshold. When that threshold is met for all numbers, save the line.

What if the threshold is exceeded for some numbers before the thresholds for other numbers are met?

What's the purpose of all this?

Each of the three values needs to be sequentially verified (checked) before saving.

Right now, I'm just trying out some ideas. 17 years ago, I was able to do such a thing in Lotus 1-2-3, but I lost my data, and I have forgotten how to do it.

The one, and only, hard drive I ever burned out occured when I ran my Lotus 1-2-3 "program" overnight. There was so much writing to a small sector on the platter(s) it burned itself out ...... This time I will be more exacting, and write to a thumb drive to be safe.....

I've been thinking about how to perform the steps outlined above in an orderly, "automated" format, but so far no success.

I have looked at nested IF's, and GESTEP's, and I am dabbling with macros as I perform repetitive steps manually.

I have found a little macro that will run another macro x number of times.

One major hurdle for me is understanding how to stop a macro midstream if a "successful sifted sequence" is uncovered, and then start the marcro running again from where it left off.

I am also trying to figure out how to go from 1,2,3,4,5,6 to 1,2,3,4,5,25 to 1,2,3,4,6,7 (etc.) if 25 numbers is the limit. .... ie sequentially to 20,21,22,23,24,25 at which point the macro is finished.

I have very little familiarity with macros save for what one looks like when it is in edit mode. At this point, I cannot write a macro using code.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you.
