I need a simple software program or spreadsheet programmed. I'm not sure what software or programming language would work best for this job. So, I'm open to suggestions for that. I’m an auto buyer for an auto shop that I work for. We buy cars at auction on a regular basis. Every auction I attend I compile a list of cars for sale that I like and I try to maximize our budget that I have to spend on them as a group. What I’m looking for is a way that I can enter the list of the cars that I’m looking at potentially buying and seeing all the possible combinations of those cars that I can buy within my budget range. That way I can then choose the combination that looks most appealing to me. I’ve attached an example Excel spreadsheet to give you an idea. On the spreadsheet I have cars grouped by their brand make. Ford, Chevrolet, Honda, and so on along with their prices. Then, to the right you can see a total budget range that I might be looking at spending and the number count of each brand of car that I would like to buy. In the example, I’d like to buy 1 Dodge, 2 Fords, 3 Chevrolets, 1 Honda, 1 Nissan, and 1 Kia. And, I'd have a budget of $55,000-$60,000. Do you think you can come up with a program or spreadsheet that would automatically compile and output every possible combination of cars from the master list that fits within the entered budget range using the entered number count of each brand of car?

Hello, I completely understand your requirement. This is easily doable in Excel spread sheet, with some input options and a button click. I can make sure to get you these details within the next 2 to 3 days. But, the problem is if we apply permutation and combination of all available cars with the budgets in mind, the output will be a large set of group which make it tough to select the right group. We can have a minimum criteria saying, the result should contain a minimum of Cars A, B and C ( or something similar ) - again, this is as per your wish and requirement. I wish we can work together on this. Let me know if you are interested. Thanks

Good morning, you project is very interesting. I am a windows developer so I would ask you on which hardware are you going to use this piece of software : pc, phone, tablet etc. I develop applications so my approach woulkd be to build a database application with the cars you're interested in thus reporting immediately all the permutations given a budget. Of course I'll discuss all the details with you, any time. Please accept my best regards, Augusto Pellis
