How to generate a list of all possible 4 digits combinations in Excel?
In some cases, we may need to generate a list of all possible 4 digits combinations of number 0 to 9, which means to generate a list of 0000, 0001, 0002…9999. To quickly solve the list task in Excel, I introduce some tricks for you.

In Excel, you can use below formula to list all possible 4 digits combinations of number 0 to 9.

I have a question! How to list all possible combination of numbers? For example, I have these numbers: 2, 2, 2, 1, 0. I want to generate all possible combinations of these five numbers. For example 22210, 10222, 21220, 20122, 21022... and so on. Please help!
Hello. Thanks for the List All combinations tool. However, some combinations exceed the total number of rows excel can offer in a given column (1,048,576). Is it possible to let the list continue in another column within the same sheet? Or even have the tool in word or text which doesn't limit the rows? I appreciate your feedback!
to select your number list, (you also can directly type the numbers separated by commas into textbox), and click Add to add the first list into Combinations list;
