Default Can excel list the possible combinations from a range of cells

I have 15 cells with differing data in them, for example Andy in A1, Lesley
in A2, Keith in A3 etc etc.
I want to calculate and list the different combinations of the entries in a
column..... For e.g Andy
Andy, Lesley
Andy, Keith
Andy, Lesley, Keith
Lesley, Keith

Thanks for this.
I'm no expert in VBA though. Do I just copy this into a module and run the
macro whilst within the spreadsheet? Or is there anything else I should be
doing?

Thanks again.

You are correct.

Thanks again, I've got the macro to work. Could we alter the macro so that
the subsets are copied onto the active sheet rather than listed as a message
box? If so do you know the code required?

Thanks

Su

This is a replacement for Coleman's TestThis:

Sub TestThis()
Dim i As Integer
Dim A(3 To 7) As Integer
Dim B As Variant
Dim s


For i = 3 To 7
A(i) = i
Next i
B = Array("dog", "cat", "mouse", "zebra")


MsgBox ListSubsets(A)
MsgBox ListSubsets(B)
s = Split(ListSubsets(B), vbCrLf)
For i = 0 To UBound(s)
Selection.Offset(i, 0).Value = s(i)
Next
End Sub


First select a cell on the worksheet and then run the macro. The
combinations will be pasted starting at the selected cell.


I left in the MSGBOXs. You can remove these two lines if you don't need them.
