Out of Memory Error 7

Nice memory hog!

your arrays are a little bit bigger than what you actually need.
?49^6 13.841.287.201 elements.. of 2 bytes(integer) each

correction..
you use 5 dimensions not 6
?49^5= 282.475.249 * 2 bytes per array

Hi keepITcool,

As you Probably Realised I am New to Programming.
The Program I did for 4 Numbers Worked Well Without Any Out of Memory
Error.
I will Look through the Code you Kindly gave and Try to get a Better
Understanding of what is Happening and Why.
I Basically just want it to go through ALL 1.9 Million Combinations and
Keep a Running Total ( Including & Excluding the Bonus Number ) of the
Number of Times Each 5 Number Combination has Appeared in the Total
Draws to Date.

Thanks Again for the Code.
All the Best.
Paul

Thanks for the Code by Myrna Larson, it Works Great ( and is Fast ) for
Producing Combinations & Permutations.
I Tried out the Code you Provided But Unfortunately it dose Not give me
the Required Results.
Thanks Anyway for your Help.

All the Best.
Paul

Has Anyone got Any Other Ideas on how to Solve this Out of Memory Error
7 Please.
The Code Kindly Provided by keepITcool Unfortunately does Not give me
the Required Results.
Thanks in Advance.
All the Best.
Paul

with my code:

get the 1.9mio combinations with
dim aByt() as byte
abyt = combinationindexer(49,5)

on my laptop this runs without problems in 3.7 seconds.

then loop the array and compare to an array of draws to date.
I'll help but i need to know what your DrawsToDate looks like.

Hi keepITcool,

Thanks for the Reply.
In the Sheet Named NO Bonus in Cells A2:A? is the Draw Number. In Cells
B2:G? are the Numbers Drawn.
In the Sheet Named Bonus in Cells A2:A? is the Draw Number. In Cells
B2:H? are the Numbers Drawn ( Including the Bonus Number ).
As I said Before, I am New to VBA.

Thanks Very Much in Advance.
All the Best.
Paul

ok..
but what is your required output.
what do you want to know?
how do you want it stored/displayed

also note that since you are workiong with excel
the sets that can be effectively "documented"
are a bit cumbersome. since we have to work around the 65000 row limit.

I'd prefer to use access or a text file for documentation...


if it is a programming exercise.. I'm doing all the work here.
if you just want a proggie: many lotto proggies on the market...
