    with MOD and ROW, it shouldn't be too hard.

    If you post the spreadsheet as an XLS(X) instead of just a JPEG screencap, I (or someone else) could turn that around for you.

    Re: Generate all possible combinations

    Hi,
    Seems to me that with 28 numbers you are going to run out of space on a single sheet in a range of 28 columns fairly quickly.
    With a .xls sheet you'll run out with >11 numbers and with a .xlsx sheet >12 numbers.

    What's the ultimate aim here. i.e. if you were able to list all combinations, what then?
