Combination Generator
asked on
Lets say I have two 3 digit numbers 123 ans 234. So If I break it up there are 6 numbers say 1,2,3,2,3,4
So as per the formula as shown below if I want to generate all 3 digit combinations from the above 6 numbers. I believe the possible number of combination is 11 combinations?
(n+r-1)! / (r!(n-1)!)
n = 6
r = 3
(6+3-1)! / 3!(6-1)!
If that is correct then how do I code the same in VBA? Can a generic Function can be written where I pass an Array of n numbers and it outputs the result in an excel sheet?
