I saw that. I meant it not just as good "find" here, but as a good find for
me - I like not having to reinvent wheels.

But the one you came up with is one I'll keep track of. It is determining
the permutations rather than combinations, and permutations are often
called
for also. Nice find as far as I'm concerned.

Tom,
Thanks for that, point taken.
In fact the program removes duplicates when they do occur.
Entries with duplicate characters have the results fed thru a
collection to remove repeats. So, for instance, "food" produces
this list of 12 items not 24...

Jim, just a head up. may not fill the bill so to speak.

The numbers can repeat

Your doing straight permutations which don't allow numbers to repeat.
straight permutations: 5! = 120
permutations with numbers repeating: 5^5 = 3125

As a newby to Excel VBA, I'd like to create a spreadsheet that would
give me every 5-digit combination of the numbers {1, 3, 5, 7, 9} in one
spreadsheet. The numbers can repeat.

I thought of the FOR NEXT loop, but I am not sure how to get the output
to the next row, nor am I certain it would give every combination.
Thanks so much,
