Iterative Pony Permutations

Hi all,

 

Expanding on the Pony Permutations challenge,

https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Weekly-Challenge/Challenge-270-Pony-Permutations/td-p/766962

 

I'm trying to build an iterative macro that generates every possible combination of race finishes for not just one race but a list of races (in some races, there may also be less than 4 horses competing):

 

I have not been successful so far, would really appreciate if someone can show me how. I'm not able to upload my files here due to policy restrictions (I'm using a company laptop)

 

Input:

 Horse1Horse2Horse3Horse4
Race 1SallyElmerSallyMr. Ed
Race 2BojackRoger  
Race 3PegasusTroyDrogon 
Race 4QueenaSpiritDonkeyMaximus

 

This is the result that i'm looking to have:

 FirstSecondThirdFourth
Race 1SallyElmerSallyMr. Ed
Race 1SallyElmerMr. EdSally
Race 1SallySallyElmerMr. Ed
Race 1SallySallyMr. EdElmer
Race 1SallyMr. EdElmerSally
Race 2BojackRoger  
Race 2RogerBojack  
Race 3PegasusTroyDrogon 
...............

This was a fun challenge.  I think this should still work if you increase the number of horses in a race.
