FUNCTION COMBIN (COMBINATION)

COMBIN

This function returns the number of combination for a given number of items. Use "COMBIN" to determine the total possible number of groups for a given number of items.

How does it work?

=COMBIN(number,number_chosen)

Where:

NUMBER is the number of items.

NUMBER_CHOSEN is the number of items in each combination.

Remarks

- Numeric arguments are truncated to integers.
- If either argument is nonnumeric, COMBIN returns the #VALUE! error value.
- If number < 0, number_chosen < 0, or number < number_chosen, COMBIN returns the #NUM! error value.
- A combination is any set or subset of items, regardless of their internal order. - Combinations are distinct from permutations, for which the internal order is significant.
