I would like someone experienced with the manipulation of alpha data, words, to write a program that I can use to merge lists of words into differing combinations of words and phrases.
Example: a table or worksheet with columns and rows, where columns are categories and rows are words and their variants that fit in the category.
For purposes of this descritpion assume that there are 8 columns and 8 rows.
Columns: A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H
Rows: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
Every cell: A1 through H8 has a word
Possible combinations might be A,C,E,G,H or B,D,E,G or D,E,F,G,H and so on
Possible combinations(like A,C,E,G,H) are picked manually and then input in some manner into "program" to be run to produce list of word combinations or phrases using all of the varients of
A,C,E,G,H in full or partial combinations.A full combination would be A1 to A8 against B1 to B8 against C1 to C8 and so on. A partial combination would be A1 to A8 combined with the phrase of C1,E1,G1,H1.
Program or whatever must run on Windows XP OS. If it is possible, in Excel2000. Excel 2000 limitations are 65,000+ rows and 256 columns and "program" must have ability to run up to those limits. MS Access 2000 is also a possibility.
Ease of use is important.
I am not a programmer but I do understand what I want to happen. Certainly open to suggestions.
Please ask questions.
