This is specific for 5 chosen out of 6 possibles:
Code:
Sub blah()
x = "ABCDEF"
y = Len(x)
Count = Application.WorksheetFunction.Permut(y, 5)
Set Destn = ActiveCell
ReDim Results(1 To Count, 1 To 1)
idx = 0
ReDim result(1 To 5)
For a = 1 To y
result(1) = Mid(x, a, 1)
For b = 1 To y
If b <> a Then
result(2) = Mid(x, b, 1)
For c = 1 To y
If c <> a And c <> b Then
result(3) = Mid(x, c, 1)
For d = 1 To y
If d <> a And d <> b And d <> c Then
result(4) = Mid(x, d, 1)
For e = 1 To y
If e <> a And e <> b And e <> c And e <> d Then
result(5) = Mid(x, e, 1)
idx = idx + 1
Results(idx, 1) = Join(result, "")
End If
Next e
End If
Next d
End If
Next c
End If
Next b
Next a
Destn.Resize(idx) = Results
End Sub
It's clunky but it should run fast. Results are output to the active cell and the 719 cells below it.
