I am no Harry potter but can say your thread title is poor. Why do you want to do this? Do you realise you will get 14 million combinations?
you can use 6 nested do-loops in a macro, building in a check for repetition of one or more numbers.
It is 17 million combinations - where will you put them. You will need to employ 500 people to fill your slips in and take them to 500 outlets to register them.
you cannot enter every combination, so leave out 44 45 46 47 48 49
Christ your lottery is even more stacked against me than camelots. When I bang the n's and k's I always get to 14 million.
Hello jhill,
As Badger101 indicates, please try to make your thread titles indicative of your specific problem - I've changed it for you.
As also pointed out above, difficult to do with a formula, if you want to try VBA see VoG's offering here
hi just another question as this is related and some of you might know the answer, is there some sort of software that allows you too enter number combinations and the generator/software finds the missing combination which hasnt been used?
danmarket1,
Unfortunately you need to post your question in a new thread, it's against the forum rules to post a question in the thread of another user.
