Obtain all possible combinations of values in 2 or more columns, NOT from a single column

Hi, i'm looking to create all possible combinations between two columns without including any combinations of values from the same column.

Here's a sample of what i'm trying to do:

 

Column 1Column 2
A1
B2
  
  
  
Desired Result 
A / 1 
A / 2 
B / 1 
B / 2 
1 / A 
1 / B 
2 / A 
2 / B 
  
  
  
Do not want 
A / A 
A / B 
B / A 
B / B 
1 / 1 
1 / 2 
2 / 1 
2 / 2 
  

 

 

the values are all strings not numbers, and they all have different lengths. I also need the " / " between each item.

 

Thanks!

Hi @Rob48 ,

 

I'm attaching an example showing how to get that done.

How to do it when you have more than 2 columns with varying size of datasets within each column? How to get all the permutations?
