Is it possible to create a dataset by looping variable

[DarknessFalls]

Assuming I have 3 variables a, b & c

where a = 1,2
b = 3, 4
c = 5, 6

Can I create a dataset that looks like this.

a -- b -- c
1 -- 3 -- 5
1 -- 3 -- 6
1 -- 4 -- 5
1 -- 4 -- 6
2 -- 3 -- 5
2 -- 3 -- 6
2 -- 4 -- 5
2 -- 4 -- 6

I tried doing this with some loops, but was not able to get it to work. So any help would be quite helpful, because using my actual data I would have 300-400k different combinations. Message was edited by: DarknessFalls
