Hi everyone,
I am trying to create a "Gaps" program that cycles through ALL 13,983,816 combinations in a 6 from 49 Lotto and produces the following data. I would like it to work out the Gaps between each of the balls for EACH combination in a 6 from 49 Lotto with no replacement. For example, the combination 02 08 18 28 36 45 will have the Gaps of ... Ball 1 numbered 02 & Ball 2 numbered 08 = 05 Gaps ( 03 04 05 06 07 ) Ball 2 numbered 08 & Ball 3 numbered 18 = 09 Gaps ( 19 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 ) Ball 3 numbered 18 & Ball 4 numbered 28 = 08 Gaps ( 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 ) Ball 4 numbered 28 & Ball 5 numbered 36 = 07 Gaps ( 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 ) Ball 5 numbered 36 & Ball 6 numbered 45 = 08 Gaps ( 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 ) .... so the Gaps description for this particular combination will be 05 09 08 07 08. The Gaps difference between ball 1 and ball 2 is really ball 2 minus ball 1 - 1 and so on. I would like to have a Gaps description for each category and the Total combinations for each category associated with that list. So extracting three combinations from the Loop as an example ... Combination - 02 09 16 25 38 45 Combination - 04 15 19 36 37 49 Combination - 09 15 28 39 46 47 .... will give the answer ... Gaps 06 06 08 12 06 = x combinations ( x could be 925,365 combinations with the exact same Gaps between the balls 1-2, 2-3 ,3-4 ,4-5 & 5-6 ) Gaps 10 03 16 00 11 = x combinations ( x could be 236,258 combinations with the exact same Gaps between the balls 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5 & 5-6 ) Gaps 05 12 10 06 00 = x combinations ( x could be 756,258 combinations with the exact same Gaps between the balls 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5 & 5-6 ) .... etc. It would also be nice to have a Total at the bottom of the combinations list, which of course, should equal 13,983,816 combinations. I have written the following which has nothing to do with what I am trying to achieve above, but for some reason it does not work. It is supposed to give me a list of Gaps from 00 to 43 from ALL 13,983,816 combinations. The list of Gaps should be in cells B3:B45 and the total combinatios for each gap should be in cells C3:C45. Could somebody please have a glance at it. Option Explicit Option Base 1 Private Sub Gaps() Dim A As Integer Dim B As Integer Dim C As Integer Dim D As Integer Dim E As Integer Dim F As Integer Dim i As Integer Dim GapsTotal(43) As Long Application.ScreenUpdating = False For i = 1 To 43 GapsTotal(i) = 0 Next i For A = 1 To 44 For B = A + 1 To 45 For C = B + 1 To 46 For D = C + 1 To 47 For E = D + 1 To 48 For F = E + 1 To 49 If B - A - 1 = 0 Then GapsTotal(0) = GapsTotal(0) + 1 If C - B - 1 = 0 Then GapsTotal(0) = GapsTotal(0) + 1 If D - C - 1 = 0 Then GapsTotal(0) = GapsTotal(0) + 1 If E - D - 1 = 0 Then GapsTotal(0) = GapsTotal(0) + 1 If F - E - 1 = 0 Then GapsTotal(0) = GapsTotal(0) + 1 If B - A - 1 = 1 Then GapsTotal(1) = GapsTotal(1) + 1 If C - B - 1 = 1 Then GapsTotal(1) = GapsTotal(1) + 1 If D - C - 1 = 1 Then GapsTotal(1) = GapsTotal(1) + 1 If E - D - 1 = 1 Then GapsTotal(1) = GapsTotal(1) + 1 If F - E - 1 = 1 Then GapsTotal(1) = GapsTotal(1) + 1 .... continued all the way down to ... If B - A - 1 = 42 Then GapsTotal(42) = GapsTotal(42) + 1 If C - B - 1 = 42 Then GapsTotal(42) = GapsTotal(42) + 1 If D - C - 1 = 42 Then GapsTotal(42) = GapsTotal(42) + 1 If E - D - 1 = 42 Then GapsTotal(42) = GapsTotal(42) + 1 If F - E - 1 = 42 Then GapsTotal(42) = GapsTotal(42) + 1 If B - A - 1 = 43 Then GapsTotal(43) = GapsTotal(43) + 1 If C - B - 1 = 43 Then GapsTotal(43) = GapsTotal(43) + 1 If D - C - 1 = 43 Then GapsTotal(43) = GapsTotal(43) + 1 If E - D - 1 = 43 Then GapsTotal(43) = GapsTotal(43) + 1 If F - E - 1 = 43 Then GapsTotal(43) = GapsTotal(43) + 1 Next F Next E Next D Next C Next B Next A Sheets("Gaps Data").Select Range("B2").Value = "Gaps" Range("B3").Value = "Gaps of 00" Range("B4").Value = "Gaps of 01" .... continued all the way down to ... Range("B44").Value = "Gaps of 42" Range("B45").Value = "Gaps of 43" Range("C2").Value = "Total" Range("C3").Select For i = 1 To 43 ActiveCell.Offset(i, 0).Value = GapsTotal(i) Next i Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance. All the Best. Paul |
