Hi,</SPAN></SPAN>

The code below generate any combinations I use for example Const v& = 4 to 14 where Array is ("1", "X", "2") (3^4=81, and 3^14=4.782.969) so in the given example 3^4= 81 combinations are generated in the column A and column C & D there is a resume how many combinations can be found with example (4-1's=1) with (3-1's & 1-x's =4) </SPAN></SPAN>

My query is it possible to limit the numbers of X's & 2's to get only output for those combinations only, like for example 2-1's, 1-X's, 1-2's =12 combinations showed highlighted in blue that can be generated only. So the output only 12 not all the 81 </SPAN></SPAN>
Code....</SPAN></SPAN>
Code:
Sub GenerateCombi()
Const v& = 4
     
Dim z, y() As String, q(), u&, g&
Dim a&, b&, c&, d&, p&, MaxRow&
MaxRow = Rows.Count
z = Array("1", "X", "2")
u = UBound(z) + 1
ReDim y(1 To u ^ v, 1 To 1)
     
For a = 1 To v
    For b = 1 To u ^ v Step u ^ a
        For c = b To b + u ^ (a - 1) - 1
            For d = 1 To u
                y(c + u ^ (a - 1) * (d - 1), 1) = _
                    z(d - 1) & y(c + u ^ (a - 1) * (d - 1), 1)
            Next d
        Next c
    Next b
Next a

For a = 1 To u ^ v Step MaxRow
ReDim q(1 To MaxRow, 1 To 1)
    g = 0: p = p + 1
    For b = 1 To MaxRow
        If a + b > u ^ v + 1 Then Exit For
        q(b, 1) = y(a + b - 1, 1)
        g = g + 1
    Next b
Cells(p).Resize(g) = q
Next a

End Sub
