Thanks for help,
reason why most values are D4:G8 "#N/A" is because I use this code from Myrna Larson also posted on forum which generate all possible combinations, but in some reason it makes a space bar before every word in column B,C,D and E so words from sheet ''COMB'' and that in data validation list are not the same. Can you check code below ?

I know i ask silly questions but i'm a real amateur with VBA and I use codes only if can be easily modified. In your code you write to enter my other constraints, but i don't know how, everything i write into is in red. Here are my constraints
B21:B25 >= D21:D25
B26:B45 <= D26:D45
F21:F45 >= H21:H45
K21:K25 <= M21:M25
O21:O25 >= M21:M25
C14 > E14
C15 > E15
C16 > E16
C17 > E17
C18 > E18
Can I ask you for help to modify my old code and add it to your code. Code have to copy all calculated results from solver to the new sheet. Now i used this code also with combination of other button which moves number to the next one. I just need to copy every result from all scenarios placed in ("B4:B8") ("I4:I8") and ("c14:c18") to another location
Now i was copying each scenario in two rows, but it would be easy to copy only in one row.
Range("B4:B8").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("B47").Select
ActiveCell.Offset(stc, 0).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=True
Range("B48").Select
Range("I4:I8").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("A48").Select
ActiveCell.Offset(stc, 1).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=True
Range("A49").Select
Range("c14:c18").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("f48").Select
ActiveCell.Offset(stc, 1).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=True
Range("f49").Select
