A user posed this problem and I have no idea how to help him out. Any
suggestions or advice?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Suppose that I have a matrix that has say 13 rows and 6 columns. I wish to
write an EXCEL program that takes 5 rows at a time and computes the sum of
each column for the resulting matrix. The program is to record the maximum
of these column sums along with the rows for which the computation was made.
The program is to cycle through all 1287 possible combinations of five rows
repeating the column sum computations and recordings as indicated above.



An example matrix is shown below:



| A | B | C | D | E | F

1 | 1 2 1 1 4 8

2 | 5 8 7 4 1 5

3 | 9 6 2 9 9 6

4 | 6 5 5 7 7 7

5 | 11 13 6 3 3 2

6 | 8 7 11 2 5 10

7 | 3 12 4 10 8 4

8 | 4 1 8 12 12 11

9 | 12 3 10 8 10 1

10| 7 9 13 13 6 3

11| 10 10 12 11 2 13

12| 2 4 9 6 13 12

13| 13 11 3 5 11 9
