Hi All Excel Ninjas,

This is my 1st post here, below here is my problem.

I have data in two columns. Column A1 - A6 contains : AA, BB, CC, DD, EE, FF. And column B1-B3 contains +1, -1, 0

In column C and D, I want to populate the following - 

1st scenario:

Col C    Col D

AA       +1

BB       +1

CC       +1

DD      +1

EE       +1

FF       +1

2nd scenario:

Col C    Col D

AA       -1

BB       +1

CC       +1

DD      +1

EE       +1

FF       +1

3rd scenario:

Col C    Col D

AA       0

BB       +1

CC       +1

DD      +1

EE       +1

FF       +1

4th scenario:

Col C    Col D

AA       +1

BB       -1

CC       +1

DD      +1

EE       +1

FF       +1

5th scenario:

Col C    Col D

AA       +1

BB       -0

CC       +1

DD      +1

EE       +1

FF       +1

so on and so forth

So essentially, I want to populate all possible combinations where AA - FF remains constant while +1,-1 and 0 changes for those 6 elements (AA - FF) in different combinations.

Hope my query is clear. Looking forward to your help.

Regards,

D

Hi Gogol D,

I suggest a solution with Power Query and structured tables. This way, if you add or delete data, Excel calculates for you.

Thanks for sharing this Lionel.

If you see, the proposed solution populates 6X3 = 18 combinations / scenarios. However, if you observe, the number of possible scenarios seem to be even pretty higher. What I mean by is that, now there will be possible permutation and combinations within these 18 observations as well and I need to populate the same.

Any further leads?

Best
G
