Hi All

I need to find a way to list all possible combinations/permutations on excel. I have a list of 8 games of soccer each with a possible outcome of win, draw or win. I need to be able to show every combination for the 8 different results (not including 2 results from the same game). 8 different matches with 3 possible outcomes each match should mean there are 336 different combinations that could occur. I need to be able to show this in a list format. This is my data set and the template I would like to follow, with an outcome per combination looking like it does in the RHS table. What would the formula look like that I could drag down the cells to create each different combination.

I am on Excel for Mac 2011.

Thanks in advance! Will add reputation to anyone who can help me

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.
