    <p>I needed this myself several times and finally built it.</p> <p>I believe the code scales for any total number of columns and any number of distinct values within columns (e.g. each column can contain any number of values)</p> <p>It assumes all values in each column are unique (if this is not true, you will get duplicate rows)</p> <p>It assumes you want to cross-join output based on whatever cells you have currently selected (make sure you select them all)</p> <p>It assumes you want the output to start one column after the current selection.</p> <p>How it works (briefly): first for each column and for each row: It calculates the number of total rows needed to support all combos in N columns (items in column 1 * items in column 2 ... * items in column N)</p> <p>second for each column: Based on the total combos, and the total combos of the previous columns it calculates two loops.</p> <p>ValueCycles (how many times you have to cycle through all the values in the current column) ValueRepeats (how many times to repeat each value in the column consecutively) </p> <pre><code>Sub sub_CrossJoin() Dim rg_Selection As Range Dim rg_Col As Range Dim rg_Row As Range Dim rg_Cell As Range Dim rg_DestinationCol As Range Dim rg_DestinationCell As Range Dim int_PriorCombos As Long Dim int_TotalCombos As Long Dim int_ValueRowCount As Long Dim int_ValueRepeats As Long Dim int_ValueRepeater As Long Dim int_ValueCycles As Long Dim int_ValueCycler As Long int_TotalCombos = 1 int_PriorCombos = 1 int_ValueRowCount = 0 int_ValueCycler = 0 int_ValueRepeater = 0 Set rg_Selection = Selection Set rg_DestinationCol = rg_Selection.Cells(1, 1) Set rg_DestinationCol = rg_DestinationCol.Offset(0, rg_Selection.Columns.Count) 'get total combos For Each rg_Col In rg_Selection.Columns int_ValueRowCount = 0 For Each rg_Row In rg_Col.Cells If rg_Row.Value = "" Then Exit For End If int_ValueRowCount = int_ValueRowCount + 1 Next rg_Row int_TotalCombos = int_TotalCombos * int_ValueRowCount Next rg_Col int_ValueRowCount = 0 'for each column, calculate the repeats needed for each row value and then populate the destination For Each rg_Col In rg_Selection.Columns int_ValueRowCount = 0 For Each rg_Row In rg_Col.Cells If rg_Row.Value = "" Then Exit For End If int_ValueRowCount = int_ValueRowCount + 1 Next rg_Row int_PriorCombos = int_PriorCombos * int_ValueRowCount int_ValueRepeats = int_TotalCombos / int_PriorCombos int_ValueCycles = (int_TotalCombos / int_ValueRepeats) / int_ValueRowCount int_ValueCycler = 0 int_ValueRepeater = 0 Set rg_DestinationCell = rg_DestinationCol For int_ValueCycler = 1 To int_ValueCycles For Each rg_Row In rg_Col.Cells If rg_Row.Value = "" Then Exit For End If For int_ValueRepeater = 1 To int_ValueRepeats rg_DestinationCell.Value = rg_Row.Value Set rg_DestinationCell = rg_DestinationCell.Offset(1, 0) Next int_ValueRepeater Next rg_Row Next int_ValueCycler Set rg_DestinationCol = rg_DestinationCol.Offset(0, 1) Next rg_Col End Sub </code></pre>
