Add Random Numbers For A Specific Total
Nov 10, 2006If you have a single column of random numbers, is there a way to give Excel a total amount you are looking for, and have it choose which numbers in that column total to that amount?

I need generating 40 rows (Columns of 17 (Columns A - Q) Random numbers (1 to 5) that will sum to specific values (60, 55..) in R Column, and to regenerate it on pressing any key.
The same has been done for one value in [URL] ..... but I need it for a set.
I have a list of numbers and want to see if the sum of any of them exactly makes up a specific larger number. Any quick way to do in excel? Eg do any of the below together make the exact total of the number at the bottom.
242.91
265.71
95.96
113.26

I am working on a Random Cycle Count Generator that provides random SKU#s based on 3 separate columns of SKU listings. The user clicks a button to generate the SKU#s to cycle count for that day. What I would like to see is a date stamp in the columns next(B,D,F) to the referenced SKU listing(A,C,E) based on which SKU#s are generated. This will let me see the last date that the SKU was generated. I would also like it to automatically save after generating.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am copying various rows from one spreadsheet to another (sheet3) and would like to total one of the columns. The trouble is that since I don't know how many rows there will be I am having trouble inserting a formula that will work. I am sure that there must be a simple solution but I can't seem to find it.
View 2 Replies View Relatedi have a problem that i have been trying to get over for about a week now.
i need to calculate a lease commission, with an extensive amount of variables.
first i need to find the length of the total term which should be anywhere between 1 to 10 years.
then on a annual basis i need to define how many months are billable in that year.
which gives me to variables to account for there, which are
A= initial free months, non paying
B = the last month of last year may only be a half year
i think i have worked that out pretty successfully, so next i need to calculate the rent for each year period. with several variables
a= the rent can be caculated :
-by per month basis
- by annual basis
- by a per square foot basis
b= next in relation to annual rent operating expenses may also be calculated in the annual rent number also by the same variables, however it may or not be calcuated into the number depending on the lease.
c. this is where i am at now, and its killing me. i need to account for rent adjustments for each year.
rent adjustments can start from either the lease start date or the date that rent starts which would be after the lease start if free rent is granted.
then the adjustments will continue through the end of the term and be implimented every x number of months.
the value of the adjustments will either be a percentage of the first years rent usually 3-5 %
or per sf, per month, or just flat rate per year. but it will escalate each year.
for example year 5 is x amount of ajustment from year 4.
i am finding difficulty in finding an annual value of the original lease term in relation to this date series. expecially if the adjustment periods leave a remainder carring over to the next year, or if their are several adjustments in one given year.
any help would be appriciated on this.... i know its pretty complicated, and i have rewritten this code about 30 different ways , i am at a loss right now.
if you think you may want to see my file let me know and i can post it
I need to generate 8 (random) numbers which should range between 0 to 80 and the sum of those generated 8 numbers should be 80.? How can I achieve this.

I am looking for a way to create a random order of numbers in a given range. For example, A1:a100 to be populated with a random number between 1 and 100, but not to duplicate, using every possible number within that range. I use the RANDBETWEEN function to generate the numbers, but I cannot prvent them from duplicating.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have random comments in a column of cells of which I'm searching for a specific string of characters that may be contained in each cell. I want to pull 2 pieces of data from this specific string and place the data in 2 other cells in the same row.
Sample comments in cell 'N1':
..... blah, Appt: Friday; 12/4; night drop off. blah, blah....
Sample comments in cell 'N2' (and so on and so on):
.....blah, blah, Appt: Thurs; 12/3; 12:30PM. blah, ....
The specific string in the above examples will always begin with:
APPT:
Then the key elements found directly after the 'APPT:' are:
Thurs; 12/3; 12:30PM.
(which are the)
DAY; DATE; TIME.
These elements will be always separated by the semi-colon ';' and the string will always end with the period '.'
I need a pair of formulas to be in col 'J' & 'K' to extract the DATE and place it in column 'J' and the TIME and place in column 'K', both in each same rows.
So, from the 2 above samples I would need the following:
in Cells:
J1 - 12/4 ....... K1 - night drop off
J2 - 12/3 ....... K2 - 12:30PM
I've been trying to come up with a formula using a combination of FIND() & MID(),
What do I need to do please to have a number in a row 1 to 40 as an example below
1,23,9,25,33,40 each row needs to be 1 to 40 but number no more than once
six rows deep yes the other rows can have the same numbers as above or below
=INDEX(ROW($A$1:$F$10),RANK($H1,$H$1:$H$60))
=RAND() copied H1:H60
How can I use a macro on a button in SHEET 1 to generate random numbers on SHEET 2 as follows?
Cell A1: (1-10)
Cell A2: (1-6)
Cell A3: (1-100)
Cell A4: (1-12)
I've got it working with formulas, but every time I press "DELETE" the random numbers jump to new values.
I have had some difficulty searching this on the web, but how would I generate a random number between 1 and n?

If I wanted to filter the list so I only had codes that had Z, N, H in it. How do I do that??
How does one count the number of x and y values (occurring in same row) in this array?
Time1 x a b c d
Time2 b c x y a
Time3 x a y d b
Time4 a b c d e
Time5 y d a x d
Time6 c y a d b
Note all of the variables above are positive numbers.
I have build a system that needs a lot of random numbers generated to work.
I have used what I thought would work to generate me these numbers like this example:
VB:
Lastrow = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("RPlay").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
RPlayerNum = Int((Lastrow - 2 + 1) * Rnd + 2)
This would generate a random number into RPlayerNum variable, based on the list in sheet RPlay, missing off row 1 as the header.
However we have noticed a massive flaw in this code.... It works as long as the excel file is open, each time run it gives a different random number. However if you close the excel file and open it, then run it, it ALWAYS gives the same number first run, every time.
I am creating an excel spread sheet for a project I am doing, I need to create a daily chart for 6 months of water usage that results in averaging set targets.
I have made a chart with the average uses per day but would like to have daily numbers that average out to what i have but in a random sequence e.g. i have that a shower uses 320 litres per day for 2 people is there a way i can make a chart that says: 300 (a1) 340(a2) 260(a3) 360(a4) etc i need to do this for 180 days with random numbers generated to average the same overall. I dont know even how to generate random numbers.
Any way to make say cells A1 thru A10 produce random numbers from 0 to 9.
I would like to do it without a macro if possible. I also need a button to generate those random numbers. I know this button may make it impossible to not use a macro. If it has to be done with a macro then so be it.
I have a process that generates the value X in cell A1 randomly. So I can change the value of X in A1 by clicking on F9. I want to sum a sequence of X values. I can do this by manually copying each X to a row of cells and then summing the row values. But that is tedious. Can the summation be done automatically without being regarded as being circuler?

I have two rows in a sheet with random numbers (1 till 90).
Those numbers in those two rows I change them every 5 minutes with new one still from 1 to 90
I need a "way", in one side of my sheet (lets say in column B) to count how many times a number was repeated after finish my work (example after 2 hour's)
Is that possible with excel 2007?
I want to set up a column of numbers that will be random without any repeating numbers.
Example: If I set up for 1,000 rows, I would like the random numbers to be 1 to 1,000, but the catch would be to have no duplicates in the column.
It has been several years since I worked with Excel and I am sure this can be done with a macro, but I am not sure how to go about it right now.
I'm trying to generate random numbers that will add up to a certain number and am having trouble brainstorming how to do so. For example, I'm trying to get a+b+c=6 with a, b, and c randomly generated to add up to 6.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI want to generate 12 random numbers between 1 and 75 w/ no repetition.

I want to include some random numbers in a large multi-tabbed spreadsheet, but I do not want the number to recalculate every time I make another entry on the tab or elsewhere in the workbook. I would like each tab to have one or two random number options, but each should calcualte independently based on their own inputs.
The "randbetween()" function recalcs with every/any change in the workbook.
Specifically, I want to begin with a random percent between 0 and 50% and then add three fixed values (percents) and one different random percent between 0and 30%. then I want to total all of them.
Random % (0-50) + X% + Y% + Z% + random % (0-30) = total %
