In A1, put in 0
in A2 put in 1 select A1:A2 and do format=Cells=Number Tab, select custom and put in 000 now select A1:A2 and drag fill down to row 999 if you want text values: then after doing the above in B1 put in =Text(A1,"000") then drag fill down to row 999 Select column B and do Edit=Copy, then Edit=Paste special and select Values. then you can delete column A. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Rashid Khan" wrote in message ...

Uhhh??? Tom's answer DOES give you all combinations between 000 and 999.
Show us what combination of numbers is not there? Or it that you just don't want them ordered? --- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com/ |

000 through 999 would be 1000 3-digit numbers. Possible 3 number combinations would equal 166167000 Possible 3 number permutations would equal 997002000 I would imagine it could be done, but would take some doing. Myrna Larson has written code.

Myrna's algorithm only uses each digit once in any result set, so it won't
produce any of these: 000 001 010 100 ... 111 101 110 011 Just for you edification: I tricked it by entering each digit 3 times. Then ran permutations and deleted all the duplicates. The end result was counting from 0 to 999 Perhaps you haven't clearly articulated what you are looking for??? -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Rashid Khan" wrote in message ... Thanks all.
