Using Excel 2010
Hello,

The macro below creates combinations of 5 numbers out of 1st 4 groups. (Group1, Group 2, Group 3 and Group 4…are shown in yellow)

But now I require modifications so it can create all possible combinations of 5 numbers using 6 groups.... From Group1 to Group6 (including 2 blue groups 5 and 6 also)

Please see the attached example below….

I tried to change (arrData = Range("A2:D4").Value ' Change here) To (arrData = Range("A2:F4").Value ' Change here) but seems it is design to create combinations only from 4 groups.

Please need help to modify the existing VBA; which cam work with present request. I want which can work with Excel version 2000 also.

VBA Code: 
Public Sub Five_numbers()

Range("G1:K50000").ClearContents

Dim dic As Object
Dim arrData, arrDec
Dim isUni As Boolean
Dim arr, arrB
Dim ID As String
Dim i1&, i2&, i3&, i4&, j&, c&, u&, k&

ReDim arrDec(1 To 10000, 1 To 5)
ReDim arr(1 To 5)
arrData = Range("A2:D4").Value ' Change here

For i1 = 1 To u
    arr(1) = arrData(i1, 1)

        arr(2) = arrData(i2, 2)
        For i3 = 1 To u
            arr(3) = arrData(i3, 3)
            For i4 = 1 To u
                arr(4) = arrData(i4, 4)
                For c = 1 To 4
                    For j = 1 To u

Hello Flashbond, really thank you for looking into my request I appreciate your hard work…2 things 1st the macro take time to run some time it freeze excel computer need to shut excel…2nd some time if it has finished to generate all sets I noticed it is picking 3 number from the each group it must pick max 2 from the group as previous macro condition even adding 2 more groups.

Please can you take a look?

My Best Regards,
Moti

ı fyou were hapy with the old macro and your only concern is to extend the range to column F, then this should work:

@Phuoc, did resolve my query pick 5 numbers from 4 groups limiting max 2 numbers from any group and rest 3 from other groups. Now I want must be the same conditions but extending 2 more groups “I mean here pick 5 numbers from 6 groups limiting max 2 numbers from any group and rest 3 from other extended groups.” You can see query was solved under below given link.

www.mrexcel.com

Make possible set of 5 numbers using 4 groups.

Hello, I have got 4 groups of 5 numbers as follow... Group1-In the column "B" with 5 numbers Group2-In the column "C" with 5 numbers Group3-In the column "D" with 5 numbers Group4-In the column "E" with 5 numbers In fact using 20 numbers and making sets of numbers there must be total...

Hello Flashbond, thank you once again regarding I did comment in the opening post it does not work you did change the range but you did not saw it does not pick any numbers from 2 extended groups this macro need a tweaks to work with current ranges with extended 2 groups also.

Please try to create combinations with your change range you will see nothing happens it works in the same way with only 4 groups.

Ok I have tested. It is impossible to check all combinations but this should work. The problem with this code is, it is fast but it doesn't scale well for the needs like you've already mentioned. It will need additional tweaks if you change the column or row size.

Ok I have tested. It is impossible to check all combinations but this should work. The problem with this code is, it is fast but it doesn't scale well for the needs like you've already mentioned. It will need additional tweaks if you change the column or row size.
VBA Code: 
Public Sub Five_numbers()

  Range("G:K").ClearContents

  Dim dic As Object
  Dim arrData, arrDec
  Dim isUni As Boolean
  Dim arr, arrB
  Dim ID As String

  Set dic = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
  ReDim arrDec(1 To 12000, 1 To 5)
  ReDim arr(1 To 7)
  arrData = Range("A2:F4").Value ' Change here

  u = UBound(arrData, 1)
  For i1 = 1 To u
    arr(1) = arrData(i1, 1)
    For i2 = 1 To u
      arr(2) = arrData(i2, 2)

Hello Flashbond, I am very grateful to you for helping me to solve this now yes it pick number from all groups but does not accomplish conditions to pick strictly only 2 numbers from 1 of each group...Please Check Below output yellow are ok but blue no. It is picking 1 from group.

MrExcel Question.xlsm
ABCDEFGHIJK

Yes there is no problem to changing output to any columns if it requires getting as I want combinations with set of 5 out of 6 groups with condition pick max only 2 numbers from any groups.

Hello Flashbond, now it is picking 1 number from each group it has to be minimum/maximum 2 numbers from each group.

Please check it. Thank you for your intention to help I do appreciate.
