I am wondering if its possible to write a macro that can find a relationship between columns in the worksheet found on the link below and make possible forecasts based on the relationship.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/06hpjgcxuh61vkg/FIND A RELATIONSHIP.xlsx?dl=0

The worksheet has two results. Pass or Fail and what i would like to achieve are 3 things as follows:

(1) Use macro to scan the worksheet and see if a pattern or relationship exists between the columns.

(2) Using the relationship or pattern to forecast and highlight in color which rows on Column T the word PASS will appear.

(3) List the top one hundred rows of 8 number combination that fall under 'PASS'. e.g 4,13,21,24,34,36,45,48. 7,8,21,22,23,24,25,26. 45,49,22,46,34,18,32,35. etc

( i already have the results for column T, i just need a macro that can scan worksheets, determine relationships between each column and make possible forecasts and then i will compare its accuracy)

It is my sincerest hope an expert here will help me achieve this feat.

Thanking you in advance.
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Replace PASS by 1, FAIL by 0 and do a correlation on all of the columns.

If any correlation(s) seem satisfactory for you, use standard regression (LINEST) and regression prediction to get the rest of what you ask.

Thanks for the reply but i wish it was that easy.
I did a correleation on the columns and i just couldnt understand the results or what to do with it.

It looks like your PASS and FAIL are pretty randomly scattered.
If they're truly random then any set of random cells showing PASS in Col T will have equally probability to any other set.
So I assume you must have some reason for supposing they're not randomly scattered. Maybe you hypothesize that some rows have greater probability of having PASS than other rows.
To attempt to give a sensible answer it would help to know the process by which the PASS and FAIL are generated. If you think it's not a totally random process then why do you think that, and what do you think it is? Why should there be any pattern?
