What I am looking for is to select between 7 and 15 numbers in total, I want all the possible 6 digit combinations for this.<o

EG: if I choose 2,9,11,13,15,17&26, it would look something like this<o

<o

2,9,11,13,15,17<o

></o

>
2,9,11,13,15,26<o

></o

>
9,11,13,15,17,26<o

></o

>
And so on.<o

></o

<o

If I chose more numbers (10) 1,2,3,4,3,6,7,8,9,10 it would start something like this<o

<o

1,2,3,4,5,6<o

Hi Gavin

Maybe I didn't understand correctly or I'm not explaining myself well.

I used your first example and filled the column B values the way I said in my last post.

This is the result I got. Please comment.

I put everything in you said but did not get the same result.<o

How bizarre is that?
I have been having problems with Glenn’s solution as well, maybe something with my machine.

Anyway pgc01, thanks it know works great.

pgc01 · Jul 1, 2008

I'm glad it's working now.

I hope you find the cause for your problems. Maybe it is not something with your machine, but something simpler, like wrong formats in your workbook or hidden spaces. Try doing the tests in a new workbook and see if you get the same errors.

Cheers.

Hi, Not quite sure where you're up to on this.
Sorry I sent you a duff bit of code this, I think this is better, but has a limitation of 9 columns of data from which a sub set is selected.
If its any good to you, you're welcome to it.
Use as before

Code:

Dim L, c, sLoop, AllsT As String, Nu, last, p, St(), Lend
Dim data, K, nWord, Ray(), Faray, Inj, stemp(), W
 Dim Vu As Range, LgVu As Integer
 On Error Resume Next
 Set Vu = Application.InputBox( _
    Prompt:="Please Select Total Range String ", _
    Title:="String Combinations", Type:=8)

If Vu Is Nothing Then
    MsgBox "No Value Entered"
    Exit Sub
End If

If Vu.Columns.Count > 9 Then
MsgBox "Selection Too Great"
Exit Sub
End If
On Error Resume Next
  LgVu = Application.InputBox( _
    Prompt:="Please Enter Lenght of Sub-String ", _
    Title:="String Combination length") ', Type:=1


If LgVu <= 0 Then
    MsgBox "No Value Entered"
    Exit Sub
End If

L = Vu.Columns.Count
Nu = 6
Dim list
On Error Resume Next
For Faray = 1 To L
    ReDim Preserve Ray(Faray)
    Ray(Faray) = Faray
list = list & Ray(Faray)
Next Faray
Dim sz

For nWord = 1 To LgVu - 1
W = Right(list, nWord + 1)
'If nWord = 1 Then W = 67
'If nWord = 2 Then W = 567
'If nWord = 3 Then W = 4567
'If nWord = 4 Then W = 34567
AllsT = 0
c = 0

ReDim Preserve St(p)
ReDim Preserve stemp(p)
p = 1

If AllsT <= W Then

For Inj = 1 To UBound(stemp())
    St(Inj) = stemp(Inj)
    Next Inj
End If

Do Until AllsT = W
    c = c + 1

    Lend = ""
If nWord = 1 Then
    data = Ray(c)
Else
    data = St(c)
End If

sLoop = data
K = 1

Do Until Lend = L
    If Val(Right(data, 1)) = L Then
    Exit Do
End If

AllsT = ""
sLoop = data & Right(data, 1) + K
K = K + 1
AllsT = sLoop
Dim M
    ReDim Preserve stemp(p)
    stemp(p) = AllsT
    If nWord = LgVu - 1 Then
    Dim cl
    For cl = 1 To Len(stemp(p))
    M = Mid(stemp(p), cl, 1)
    'MsgBox Cells(Vu.Row, Vu.Column + M - 1)

    Cells(Vu.Row + p, Vu.Column + cl - 1) = Cells(Vu.Row, Vu.Column + M - 1)
    Next cl
    End If
    p = p + 1
    Lend = Val(Right(stemp(p - 1), 1))
Loop
Loop
Next nWord
MsgBox p - 1 'stemp(UBound(stemp))

PGC, this code is exactly what I was looking for. One question, is there any way to make it work for p=1-5? So p could be up to 5. Does that make sense?

Thanks

pgc01 · Feb 3, 2011

Hi ajounc
Welcome to the board

You can use a loop and call the code I posted for the different values of p.

I'm not sure about what you want, but I posted solutions for a power set and 2 power set variations that may suit your needs here:

Hello PGC,

Is it possible for the result to be showing up on more columns? I mean if my set of numbers is 1 to 45 and I am chosing combinations of 6 numbers not repeating, then the result will be many many more than a work sheet can handle.
So, is it possible for the code to put all results all the way down to the 65000 rows and start the next one in new columns row 1?

If not, will it possible for the code to randomly select 12 or 24 combinations out of those millions and show the result?

Just a thought, not urgent or even necessary if this is going to use up a lot of your time. Thanks in advance.

Asad

ajounc · Feb 4, 2011

PGC, where do I put the loop in the code? I'm still pretty new to VBA so I'm not exactly sure how to use the loop. I like your code from this thread because it allows me to choose 5 from 10 items. The combinations can only include up to 5 items, but the total number of items to choose from is variable and can be greater than 5. The other code uses the Power Set like I need, but it creates the combinations for all 10 items. So basically, I'm looking for something that will display all possibilities for:

(10 choose 1) + (10 choose 2) + (10 choose 3) + (10 choose 4) + (10 choose 5)

Thanks so much for your help!

Hi Emma,

glad you got it working. Hopefully it will work for Gavin too.

It was my first and only attempt to write a recursive call ( out of curiosity ), which is perfect for this kind of thing.

Worked beautifully for me, thank you so much!
