that will generate all the different combinations of given values? Example; if u have: Names Value

A +1
B -1
---------------------------------------------------------------------
C +1
D -1
---------------------------------------------------------------------
You could have A +1 and C +1, or A +1 and D-1, or B-1 and C +1, or B-1 and D-1 .......etc........get what I'm trying to say? I am looking for a program that will do this for me? Anything out there, preferably free ? Excel????

B -5

C +3
D -2
-----------------------------------------------------
E +8
F -6

You can only pick one from each line. So like I said before out of these 3 given sets here how many difefernt combinations are possible. You could have A +1 ,C +3, E +8...or A +1, D -2, F -6......or B -5, C +3, F -6........or B -5, D -2 , E +8...........see what i'm doing here yet?

I dont have a clue what this, what your doing, why your doing it, what program you want, and who would make such a program. So as for helping you, count me OUT.

do you know how to explain it in lamens terms?

sounds pretty simple. learn the basics of programming and you'll be able to write it yourself by the end of today.

Almost sounds like a randomizer.

I can't remember the link, but there is a site where you can plug in the total number of items, how many that you want in a group, and it will show the possible combinations.

For example, if you had 60 names and you wanted 6 people on a team, it would give you all the different combinations possible with those parameters.

You might Google randomizer. If I find the link, I'll post it....if that's what you want. Edit: Research Randomizer Form

P.S. Please don't double post the same question in different forum.

Almost sounds like homework, my personal opinion.

That link is close to what I'm looking for but not quite. I need to be able to set given values in each set and assign each set a name. Sorry about the double post.

No its not homework, did you read my profile? :o

I don't really see a pattern on that. Looks a little like the fibionacci sequence Fibonacci number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia basically all you need to find is the pattern. Once you do it should take you five minutes to create a formula and either make the program yourself or post back here.
