Find all combinations within a range that sum to a specific value

csh8428

I have 5 columns. Each Column has a pre-defined range. I'm trying to figure out all the combinations of summing the 5 columns while staying within the ranges that equal a specific value(164 in this case). 

 Column 1Column 2Column 3Column 4Column 5
Range0-1010-2025-3540-5050-55

 

One constraint is that a number can't be duplicated in any of the columns along that row. For example using the ranges in the table, if Column 1 value = 10, then Column 2(or any other column) can't also be 10 for that row. I'm guessing this could be done using R, but I've never coded anything in R before.

 

Thanks for any help!

Not as elegant as the one from @PhilipMannering .and I made this to be static.
With a bit more effort, we can make a dynamic though.

@Qiu Your way runs a lot quicker by virtue of it being Alteryx only.

 

Reassuring that we got the same number of records!
