I modified this vba code to generate combinations of six from 10 groups of pairs where only one number of a pair is used for each combination. but I can't get exactly what i want, and there many repetitions of the same combinations and some numbers are not even used in combinations. Can I get a little help to fix this code, please? thanks.
Here is the vba:
VBA Code:
Sub Combs()
    Dim a As Long
    Dim b As Long
    Dim c As Long
    Dim d As Long
    Dim e As Long
    Dim f As Long
    Dim g As Long
    Dim h As Long
    Dim j As Long
    Dim k As Long
    Dim i As Long
    Dim grp
    grp = Range("B1:C10").Value
    Dim arr(1 To 1025, 1 To 10) As Long
    For a = 1 To 2
        For b = 1 To 2
            For c = 1 To 2
                For d = 1 To 2
                    For e = 1 To 2
                        For f = 1 To 2
                            For g = 1 To 2
                                For h = 1 To 2
                                    For j = 1 To 2
                                        For k = 1 To 2
                            i = i + 1
                            arr(i, 1) = grp(1, a)
                            arr(i, 2) = grp(2, b)
                            arr(i, 3) = grp(3, c)
                            arr(i, 4) = grp(4, d)
                            arr(i, 5) = grp(5, e)
                            arr(i, 6) = grp(6, f)
                            arr(i, 7) = grp(7, g)
                            arr(i, 8) = grp(8, h)
                            arr(i, 9) = grp(9, j)
                            arr(i, 10) = grp(10, k)
                                        Next k
                                    Next j
                                Next h
                            Next g
                        Next f
                    Next e
                Next d
            Next c
        Next b
    Next a
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Range("H2").Resize(1025, 6).Value = arr
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Here is a sample data: combs.xlsm

Hi
Try to change to
VBA Code:
 arr(i, j) = grp(Int((10 - 1 + 1) * Rnd + 1), Col)

Thanks, I did the change, the code works, but it doesn't give the correct answers. The rule is that only one number should be picked from any group to make the combination, and the list I created contains even repetitions.
