Hi to all of you guys, I’m new here…
May this thread fits on this section. A friend of mine gave me this enigma to do, written in excel but I can’t attach .xls file here.

Enigma:
There is almost an infinite amount (with 10^92 possibilities) of tables (Table1, Table 2, Table 3, Table 100, Table 101...), with ten rows (row 0,1,2,......9) in each.
Inside each table is numbers 1 to 92, 93 and 184, 185 to 276, and 277 to 284 with its position lie on their certain rows.
Here I gave the example tables that have been filled in for 40 tables. By finding the patterns/ formulas, my friend asked me to extend the tables to fill in the blank tables 41,42,43,etc as given beneath of Table 40.

If these tables are using permutation method, then how do you find the formula for its permutation?

Thanks.

Welcome to the site thinker.. wish i had a solution for you but excel is not one of my skills.

Hi mouser, thx for welcoming me here...

i'm not an expert in Excel so i normally rely on ASAP Utilities to do the legwork for me.. maybe it can be of help to you as well..

Thx lanux128,
I'll see it later.

Not sure if I understand the problem/task.

Are you trying to create more tables based on the pattern established in the first n tables?

Yes AndyM.
For further clues perhaps you can see the same thread HERE.
Thx.
