Children Name Randomly Selecting From Predefined List
Jun 25, 2012
My wife is a teacher and she has asked me if there was a way of randomly selecting a child's name from a pre-defind list and for that child not to be selected again during that session.
Some criteria:
Up to 35 children in the class (selected from a pre-defind list)A child can only by picked on once during the lessonA method needs to be in place for seelcting the child's name (either a button that can be pressed, or another option).

I require a bit of code that locates where the excel file is stored - it then searches that directory folder for all file names. Any file names with an extension *.hm for example are listed in column A, while their relevant 'Dates of last Modification' are listed in Column B.
Every time the spreadsheet opens it should ask the user if he/she requires a re-search of this directory and update of any file names accordingly. NB: if a file name is deleted from the directory, the file name should remain in the spreadsheet.

I have a large flat hierarchy table. I am looking for a method to select a parent and return a list of my lowest level children. I am somewhat familiar with VBA but I don't know where to begin coding this.
This has been a great learning source over the years, but this is one of the few instances I cannot find my problem so I am now posting. Example below:
Child
Parent
4
5
3
4
2
3
1
5
40
50
30
40
20
30
10
50
22
100
If I select 5, I want values 2 & 1 returned.
If I select 50, I want values 20 & 10 returned.
If I select 100, the value 100 should return.
If I select 40, the value 20 should return.

I've seen a lot of traffic around running macro's on a clock at regular intervals. But what if I want to run a Macro (Macro1) at 8:55, 9:55, 11:55, 12:55, 13:55, 16:55 and another Macro (Macro2) at the top of each of those hours? The string of times is not consecutive, so I have built a table to define the release times. At each of these times I need to run a macros, and I'm not sure where to begin.

I sent this before but the formula I was given wasn't correct (as you will see from the file). In Column B of the second sheet (Data) of the attached file, I want to bring back the relevant name form the first sheet (List), which involves searching through the long descriptions from column A on the Data sheet for the name on the List sheet.

I want to be able to input wrestlers names and pair them up for 2 matches randomly. Is there any way to do this? I am not advanced in excel, but not a novice either. I need to make sure they don't wrestle the same people in each round. Also there will be wrestlers from the same team, so is there any way to try and not pair them together unless it is necessary?

I have a list of potential competitors in an event, and am using both RAND and ROUND to sort them into a list of 1's and zeros. My formula is as follows: =ROUND(RAND()*1,0). My problem is that I get an uneven distribution of players, out of a list of forty, I may have 38 people that are 1's and 2 people that are 2's. I'd really like the list to be randomized, but evenly to allow for fair competition.

with this problem (which I've been trying for weeks to solve).
I have a column ("C") of 640 numbers, which I need to randomly sort and place into the adjoining (ten thousand) columns. I then need to correlate each of these 10k columns with column "B".
The problem I have with the attached (which works for small numbers), is that when I increase the table size to 640 rows and anything more than a dozen or so columns, it takes forever to calculate and Excel often crashes.

I am trying to create a schedule that will randomly populate with names from a list. I have learned how to do this with numbers. How can I do this with a list of names? How can I make sure that no names repeat?
In one column, I used =RAND()
In the cells where my numbers display, I used =INDEX(ROW($A$1:$A$24),RANK(Z17,$Z$1:$Z$24))

I have a list of people in column A and a list of Cities that they have visited in column B.
I need to check some of the cities they have visited monthly but don't want to check them all.
I have attached a sheet as an example (this has been scaled down).
The number of cities i want to check for each person varies each month depending on how many cities they have visited.
For example, John has visited 16 cities and i want to check 5 of them. I therefore want 5 random cities that he has visited to appear next to his name at the top. The real list of data is massive so this would be really useful if it is possible.
I have looked at rand but i can't get it to randomly give me more than one city, and i don't understand how to get it to give me say 5 cities one month and say 8 cities the next month purely based on a formula from another cell.

I'm trying to use data validation to restrict the user to only selecting values in a list which I create. Right now, the list is a named range. I'd like to get rid of the range and just use a named list. I create a name using the following as my list.
Insert > Name > Create
Name: Fruit
Refers to:
banana,apple,orange
When I try to use the name Fruit in my data validation, I get the message "The List Source must be a delimited list, or a reference to single row or column." I thought my name "fruit" was a delimited list.

attempting to utilize the powers of Excel to generate a math worksheet for my children. I have no experience with macros and I have only used the basic functions and formulae.
Basically I need assistance in designing a worksheet where I can input the number of problems I want displayed, the type of problems (add or minus), and the number ranges for the values. With a subtraction problem, I want the formula to make certain the top number is not lower than the bottom number. Also, I would prefer that the worksheet maker does not generate duplicate problems. Once generated, I have the option to print the results for the kids to take with them or sit on the computer and enter the values - whereby Excel will instantly turn color the answer cell green for a correct answer, and red for an incorrect answer.

Using Excel 2007. When I put password protection on the template, the template child doc also gets the same password protection. I want to prevent tampering on the template, but I want the child doc to be fully editable for the end user. After all, isn't that the purpose of a template? I just don't want anyone to be able to edit the template itself, which also seems like the purpose of a template. Am I missing something about not seeing how to configure this obvious functionality?

I'm currently working on a form to fill out in a study on different analyzers; the master form has gone through several revisions. To keep things looking neat, all the "children" forms have had to be altered, too. The amount of data is getting large and having to do this is getting annoying.
Is there a way to create a master form that is modifyable where the changes are spread through the children? i.e. if I insert a row with new information, I'd like the change to occur on multiple sheets. If I move a row to a different spot, similarly, I'd want all my forms with data to move around to follow suit.

if it is possible to have a selection from a list change the list for another cell?
For example, if I have a drop down list in A1 which is "Apples, bananas, pears", and I select "Apples", is it possible for A2 to have a list of "Green, Red, Yellow", and if I select "Bananas" in A1, for A2 to have a list of "Yellow, Black, Blue"?

Is it possible to restrict the values of cells in a particular column to entries defined in a list BUT to allow each cell in that column to display multiple items from the list (seperated by a comma for example). I've attached an example of what I would like to do -
In Sheet "2010 Data" I want to be able to select multiple values in column F....(the values are defined within the list named "Platforms" on the worksheet called "Lookups"

I have attached the data in an excel file here. I'd like to select (or highlight) the rows (based on names) in the table on sheet1 based on the list provided in sheet 2. I've been struggling with using a formula for this one. The list on sheet 2 may be longer than the table on sheet 1(since there are entries on the list which might not be present in the table column 2), and the reverse may also be true. I would like to select "entire rows" of names in the table that are there on the list on sheet 2, not just the names column in the table. See the desired result on sheet 3.

I am attaching a workbook with the VBA code for sending email.
I found the code on this forum and changed a little bit to make it work for my application.
I am not sure if this is the most effective way, but it works.
The user would select from a list of names on sheet1 and click "send_mail" button. What I need done is to send sheet2 as an attachment.
The problem: The code is looking for address in cell "H7" on sheet2. I want to keep the address on sheet1, but send out sheet2.
If I copy the address from sheet1 to sheet2 in cell "H7", everything works fine. So I need soemone to help me change the code, so it will send out sheet2, but read address on sheet1.

I currently have a huge data sheet with multiple columns of information. It contains a list of projects organized by columns with information pertaining to each project. I've named this worksheet data.
On another sheet I've named Present, I'm trying to find a way to reference a single project at a time using a drop down list. The Present Sheet has a list of characteristics fields that need to be filled with information from "data" worksheet. I want the characteristics to change whenever I choose another project name from the drop down list.
