Combinations from a single Column

agrawaluk
8 - Asteroid

Hi All,

 

I am trying to create combination from a single column. My input looks like this:

 

DC Name
DC01
DC02
DC03
DC04
DC05
DC06
DC07
DC08
DC09
DC10

 

My output would have 1023 combinations/rows (this excludes combinations that are repetitive for eg: DC01+DC02 is same as DC02+DC01). My output should look like:

DC Name
DC01
DC02
DC03
DC04
DC05
DC06
DC07
DC08
DC09
DC10
DC01 + DC02
DC01 + DC02 + DC03
...and so on

 

Please let me know if anything is unclear.

Hello @agrawaluk ,

 

I came up with an idea using binary counting:

Thanks @afv2688 

 

The solution is really interesting. Another que - Is there a way to calculate the "1023" value rather than manually inputting it? Like if there were only 5 DCs the nCr value would have been different.

Hello @agrawaluk ,

 

It seems the example I shared with you was not fully dynamic.

 

I have already solved it and shold work perfectly now.
