Generate all possible combinations of values from a column

Hi all,

 

My doubt is, how to generate all possible combinations of elements from a given list and assign each combination a unique group ID? Here are some examples

 

Input 1:

Value
A
B

 

Output 1:

GroupIDValue
1A
1B
2A
3B

 

Input 2:

Value
A
B
C

 

Output 2:

GroupIDValue
1A
1B
1C
2A
2B
3A
3C
4B
4C
5A
6B
7C

 

OBS: The real case input right now has 15 values, and it should generate 32767 groups (2^n-1).

 

Thanks.

I was not really considering the computing cost, and I guess I need to keep that in mind. 😁
@SPetrie gives very good one and I will definitely going to study it. Thanks.
