Find possible combinations of a dataset

Questions & Answers

Hi,

I’m now working on a scenario in which inventory must be turned into a final component.

I’d like to set up automation using a webhook.

I have a data set of inventory and would like to generate a variety of combinations for arranging this inventory to make a finished component.

  1. My initial goal is to make a finished component out of only three inventory items.
  2. Material descriptions and a few technical features are included in the inventory.
  3. Finished component could have three separate inventories placed in any order.
  4. There would be a few criteria that would dictate how inventory would be used to create a final component. These factors would narrow down the possibilities.

Example:

  • Let say A, B are components in my inventory.
  • Then the finished component could have possible combinations (below sample doesn’t include any filter criteria) :
    A,A,A
    A,A,B
    A,B,A
    A,B,B
    B,A,A
    B,A,B
    B,B,A
    B,B,B

I’d love it if someone could assist me in creating this scenario.

Hey @Aashees,

Great to see your question here in the community! :slight_smile:

I just wanted to clarify that this is a community of Make users helping out and sharing knowledge. This means we don’t have access to any of your scenarios, organizations etc.
It’s therefore always best to share some screenshots so that the community can see what’s going on in your scenarios visually.

Detailed information could be provided for example by an:

  1. overview of your scenario setup (functions, mappings, variables etc.)
  2. the input area of the module you are having trouble with
  3. the output area of the module you are getting data from

Thank you!
