You don't need Excel for this, just a paper and pencil.

There are only four possible triplets to be considered:

word1,word2,word3
word1,word2,word4
word1,word4,word3
word4,word2,word3

Each triplet has only 6 posible combinations:

word1,word2,word3
word1,word3,word2
word2,word1,word3
word2,word3,word1
word3,word2,word1
word3,word1,word2

Just list them and try out each one.

Hi

I have four words consisting of letters, numbers and symbols which I
use as passwords.

For my TrueCrypt folder I combined three of the words as Truecrypt
advised that a 20 character password is more secure. As I have not
accessed the folder for a very long time I could not open up the
folder. I know exactly the four words as I use it everyday but at the
end of the one word I changed on of the lower case letters to a upper
case letter.

Can someone give an excel sheet to combine these four words in order
to determine the three word password?

I will be very greatful for any assistance as I saw on one of the
forums that it can be done with excel but I have not been able to find
it.
