Default combining values ?

Hello All,

I am not very good with Excel so I hope some of you can share your
ecpertise. What I would like to do, is take a set of values and combine
them where one value per line (the left side) is combined with the
remaining values of the right side in all possible configurations. I'll
try to show an example. Given my values as such:

A vs B
C vs D
E vs F
G vs H
I vs J

I would like to see an output like so:

A D F H
A D F J
A D H J
A F H J

C B F H
C B F J
C B H J
C F H J

E B D H
E B D J
E B H J
E D H J

G B D F
G B D J
G B F J
G D F J

I B D F
I B D H
I B F H
I D F H

I don't have a clue how to do this using Excel but suspect it could be
done? The key thing is I want to combine the left side of a given value
with the right side of the other values. If there were more or less
input values, say it went up to M vs N, I still only want that combined
4 ways like M D F L but still using all the right side values combined
with that left value. If nothing else, is there a formula I can use to
calculate how many outcomes I should end up with given my values? In
the above example, I had 5 different values and ended up with 20
outcomes. What if I had 6 or 7 values?

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide or points in the right
direction.
