    Hi, CongPham30SVN 

    According to your description, I can clearly understand what you want to get.

    You said you want to get the combination that will bring you the biggest profit margin value, I think there are many possible combinations. My opinion is that the best way is to experiment with all the possible ways to get the final result. You can take a look at my steps and find if it’s useful:

    1. I create three Matrix to get the rank of the profit margin of the three categories in order to make the combination:

     

    1. Then I can make the permutation and combination according to the large selections:
    • One List1, one List2:96.43%

    • Two List1, one List2: 96.43%

     

    • Two List1, two List2: 95.71%

    • One List1, two List2:94.55%

    • Two List1, three List2: 93.00%

    As we can see, when you select “M”, “Blue”, you can get the the biggest profit margin value, which can prove also prove the truth that littlemojopuppy posted: Single filter is always greater than multiple filter.
