The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Find all possible combinations from lists in an excel spreadsheet

Asked by justearth in VB Script, Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software, Python Scripting Language

I have a spreadsheet that has value that look like this:

Row 1, 5 columns::  bbContag      bbED      bbENN_MN      bbLPI      bbLSI

I need to create a list from these numbers that always contain the value from column1 and then all possible combination of the values from the remaining columns' values, to produce an output like this:

bbContag+bbED+bbENN_MN+bbLPI+bbLSI
bbContag+bbED+bbENN_MN+bbLPI
bbContag+bbED+bbENN_MN
bbContag+bbED
bbContag+bbENN_MN+bbLPI+bbLSI
bbContag+bbENN_MN+bbLPI
bbContag+bbENN_MN
bbContag+bbLPI+bbLSI
bbContag+bbLPI
bbContag+bbLSI
etc, obviously this is not finished.

The output can remain in excel or output to a text file.

The maximum amount of columns with values will be 9, with a minimum of 2. I am looking for a script or macro to do this. Please be advise I currently do not have the wherewithal to do this myself, and would appreciated annotated code so I can begin to learn whats going on. I have attached a spreadsheet that is a sample of what I would like to use a script / macro on.

Thanks,
JE

If I knew what I was doing I might be able to use some of these suggestions, but I don't and that's why I am calling on the good graces of the EE experts:
