Make a list from a table of elements ?
Hi,
I have a little job to do which involves testing different software, harvesting the results and getting the data displayed in a pivot table. There are 4 softwares, For each softtware there are 2 different configs, For each config there are 3 different actions, For each action there are 3 different tests. I can handle setting up the pivot table from the data, but I need to get the elements of the table and all possible permutations into a list for data validation so the tester would then just have to choose a test from a drop down validation list and then key in the result for that test. That list would be the base of a pivot table. (This kind of problem rears it head in a variety of situations and it has always made ma wonder why Excel is so good a making pivot tables from lists and - apparently - useless at making lists from tables.) Is there some smart way of getting XL to make a list of permutations from a table of elements ? or would I have to make a VBA thing that would produce a list using nested loops ? This is what I have : Elements Software Config Action Test TTT alpha print a AAA beta visu b OOO delete c ZZZ This is what I need : List Test TTT alpha print a TTT alpha print b TTT alpha print c TTT alpha visu a TTT alpha visu b TTT alpha visu c TTT alpha delete a TTT alpha delete b TTT alpha delete c TTT beta print a TTT beta print b TTT beta print c TTT beta visu a TTT beta visu b TTT beta visu c TTT beta delete a TTT beta delete b TTT beta delete c AAA alpha print a AAA alpha print b AAA alpha print c AAA alpha visu a AAA alpha visu b AAA alpha visu c AAA alpha delete a AAA alpha delete b AAA alpha delete c AAA beta print a AAA beta print b AAA beta print c AAA beta visu a AAA beta visu b AAA beta visu c AAA beta delete a AAA beta delete b AAA beta delete c etc...
