Create All Possible Combinations From Different Ranges Without Using VBA

This document provides steps to create all possible combinations from different ranges of numbers without using VBA. It involves defining named ranges for the number ranges, using Microsoft Query to select the named ranges and generate the Cartesian product, and returning the results to the Excel worksheet. Refreshing the results range will automatically update it if the source ranges are modified. The objective is accomplished without macros by leveraging named ranges and the Microsoft Query feature in Excel.
