Hi Everyone,

How can I get the Results of the Below Program to Write to a CSV File
Please.
I would like the File to be Written to C:\Documents and Settings\Paul\My
Documents\Personal with the File Name Combinations.
Am I Right in Saying that it is Much Quicker to Write to a CSV ( or Text
) File than Write Directly to an Excel Spreadsheet. Is it a Simple Task
then to Load this into an Excel Spreadsheet.

Here is the Code :-

Option Explicit
Option Base 1

Public A As Integer
Public B As Integer
Public C As Integer
Public D As Integer
Public E As Integer
Public F As Integer

Sub Combinations()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Sheets("Combinations").Select
Range("A1").Select
Columns("A:IV").ColumnWidth = 18
Columns("A:IV").HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter

For A = 1 To 10
For B = A + 1 To 11
For C = B + 1 To 12
For D = C + 1 To 13
For E = D + 1 To 14
For F = E + 1 To 15

ActiveCell.Value = Application.WorksheetFunction.Text(A, "00") & "-" _
& Application.WorksheetFunction.Text(B, "00") & "-" _
& Application.WorksheetFunction.Text(C, "00") & "-" _
& Application.WorksheetFunction.Text(D, "00") & "-" _
& Application.WorksheetFunction.Text(E, "00") & "-" _
& Application.WorksheetFunction.Text(F, "00")
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select

Next F
Next E
Next D
Next C
Next B
Next A

Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Thanks in Advance.
All the Best.
Paul

Hi Paul.

I sent a mail yesterday 14:19 GMT.
to 'paul_black27' on hotmail related to a previous thread.

i've spent a 'few' hours on it, and it includes some truely nifty
combination coding... including some write routines for csv.
(even a "shaped" csv that wraps at 65536 lines)

no reaction at all. which I did find a bit surprising.
.. did you not get/read that mail?

done.

pls give me a different email account for follow up..
( i think there will be some :)

my email is in sig below. just add @ and .

i find this combination stuff amusing
AND good training on writing efficient VBA code. (memory/speed etc)

my code now generates a byte array
for combin(49/5) = 1.9 mio = 4 secs
for combin(49/6) = 13.9 mio = 35 secs

timings on 1.4 Mhz (M/celeron) laptop/512Mb mem.

persisting to CSV takes a minute or so.
persisting to Worksheet dies.

Hi keepITcool,

I have Just Received the File and Downloaded it.
Thank you VERY Much. I will Print Out the Subs etc Later and Try to get
my Head Round what is Happening and Why. As I said, I am New to VBA so
it will Probably take me a While to Understand the Programming and
Logic.
Thank you Again for ALL the Time and Effort in Regard to this, it is
MOST Appreciated.

All the Best.
Paul
