Generating Multiple Random Number Sets With Even Distribution?
Oct 14, 2011
I've managed to write a random number generator that produces multiple sets with no repeating numbers per a set.
Now, to step it up a notch, I'm trying to create an even distribution of the numbers generated which is where I could use a hand. Here's my current code:
Code:
Option Base 1
Sub RandomNumberStrings()
Dim rndno As String, strg As String, msg1 As String
Dim r1() As String, r2() As String
[Code]....
Equaling 500 numbers generated as intended, but my target is to get every number with an equal frequency.

I'm looking to generate correlated random unifrom numbers between 0 and 1 using the excel random number generator, rand(), and a user defined correlation matrix - without the use of a plugin. I realise there are plenty of risk plugins I could use, but was looking for something excel/vba reliant so I could distribute it without the user having to install anything.
I've tried using a cholesky matrix, but most of time it resulted in one of the numbers being 1, and higher that all the others.

in VBA the RND function generates a random number using uniform distribution (every number is as likely as any other). Is there a function to generate a random number using normal distribution where the numbers closest to the mean are more likely to occure then numbers further away from the mean. I've created the following custom function to generate a random number between two given values using uniform distribution.
Function RandNum(Min As Double, Max As Double) As Double
RandNum = (Max - Min) * Rnd + Min
End Function

I have a spreadsheet of 1000+ companies and I want to take a random sampling of 100 of them. I would assume this could be accomplished by auto-filling a numerical value to each line of data (which I did), then scrambling only the column with the numbers (which I can't figure out), and then selecting the entire text and resorting it to put the numbers back in order and then just work with the first 100 rows (which I can do, if I knew how to make the numbers random).

how to go about generating random numbers based on Weibull distribution in VBA? I had a rough idea for Normal (from link below) which i later extended to Lognormal but am having difficulty with Weibull and Gamma will appreciate any help.

I would like to get random number generator for normal distribution and I’m using:
=NORMINV(RAND(),$B$1,$B$2)
Where B1 is mean (average) and B2 is SD.
This command works, but in the random generating numbers, I’m getting positive and negative numbers (ex. -23,34).
how to change command so I can generate positive only numbers?

Wondering if it is possible to generate a random 4 digit number based off an alphanumeric string?
Example;
Cell A1 has 123XVF1234
Cell A2 has 321AFW4321
In B1 I would like to have a 4-6 digit number that is generated based on the alphanumeric data in Cell A1 (and so on down the list). If that is possible, I would also need to be able to convert back the 4-6 digit number back to its original alphanumeric value
Example;
If B1 returns 643562 it would need to be able to be converted back to 123XVF1234

I have a spreadsheet which has a list of staff (column B) and work categories (row 3).
Row 4 is updated each day with a count of the incoming work for each work category.
I want to be able to randomly distribute (as evenly as possible) the no of work items in Row 4 between the doers (B7:B13). Each item of work also has to be checked so I would also like to randomly distribute the checking between the checkers (B16:B18)....

I would like to generate a random value using a skewed normal distribution. For inputs I have the sample mean, standard deviation, and skewness. I would like to find a way to generate numbers randomly that would fit the skewed normal distribution described by the inputs.
Some information about skewed normal distributions can be found here: ...

How to generate semi-random numbers? I have a small sample (26 points) that I would like to extrapolate out and plot on a skewed bell curve. The numbers represent a ratio which can never be less than one. The average of my sample is 1.0149 and the standard deviation is 0.01234. When I use the random number generator tool in the data analysis pack, it generates mostly good numbers, but it also produces numbers like 0.98 and such that are never possible in my data. I've made a plot with the random numbers, including the sub-one ones, and then just adjusted the x-axis so that they wouldn't show on the graph, but I know that that's not the correct way to do it. My graph isn't skewed as much as it should be.

Can anyone help, I'm trying to create some test data, eg 1000 rows in excel. In each cell a formula (?) returns some text such as Dog, Cat or Rabbit based on the probability Dog=0.5, Cat=0.3, Rabbit=0.2
I've come up with a messy solution of generating a random number between 1-100 and then using a lookup table where 1-50 = dog etc... it works but is long winded and difficult for other people to follow.

1. I need to randomly generate either a 1, 6 or 12 every time I hit calculate (i.e. F9).
2. I want to specify the probablility of each result. For example, I want 12 to be the result 80% of the time, and 6 and 1 to be the result 10% of the time.

I would like to ask if there's a way to generate a random 4 characters in one cell and the specific random 4 characters that has been generated will be copied until the last cell of my preferred choice?
The format that I want is that:
yymmdd / random 4 characters that has been generated / 4 numbers that will increment sequentially
For example:
in A1: 140330QWER0001
in A2: 140330QWER0002
in A3: 140330QWER0003
.
.
.
.
.
But here's the catch, the file that I am using when closed then opened again will generate another random 4 characters with the same format. If i opened this file tomorrow:
for example the date for tomorrow is March 31, 2014, the file will do:
in A1: 140331TYUI0001
in A2: 140331TYUI0002
in A3: 140331TYUI0003
.
.
.
.
.
I tried to record it, the Rand() function when copied will generate another 4 characters.

I am putting together a simple table to display current week's data vs previous weeks. The current week's data is drawn from a status chart which changes frequently. The constant change is fine for 'Current' as I only want the current data displayed.
The problem I am having is calculating the number of late jobs that existed during the previous week.
The status log has a due date which is compared to the current date to determine 'on time' status for the current week.
Due dates are reissued regularly so I can't use
=COUNTIF(RANGE,WEEKNUM(NOW()-1)) to return data about last week from my status chart.
I have available a 'Movement Log' (in the workbook but a separate worksheet) which tracks the changes in the due date field, but I'm not sure how to integrate that data to calculate the # of jobs that were running late from the last week.
My thought is that I need to perform a count of the # of late based on a comparison of 'due date' to 'date of the last day of last week' with a way to insert the "old due date" from the movement log to replace what is shown in the status log if necessary.

I am trying to build an excel spreadsheet for a hockey program I'm coaching that will do the following:
Create 4 teamsThere will be a Team 1 White/Dark, and Team 2 White/DarkUse 2 lists to distribute players evenlyThere are a disproportionate amount of players on each list. There are 8 Majors, 12 Minors. 2 Majors maximum need to be on every team.Every week, the roster will be different (some don't show). I need to be able to hit 'randomize' and exclude certain people, and still have the lines 'relatively' similar This is an essence two 3 vs 3 games, with a white vs. dark on each side of the ice (2 half-ice games). If there are 3 majors on each side (6 in attendance), one side will have a white with 2 majors, the other side will have a dark with 2 majors.
I'd also like a way to keep track of who's played with/against who, so if I can export that data set to ensure I don't get a duplicate team...or a primarily duplicate team.

I have these two woorkbooks. One serves as a register of warranty cards and the other as a template of a warranty card. For each new warranty card I need the register to generate automatically a new consecutive number. This new number should automatically be loaded in a specific cell in the template document after opening it (with a hyperlink or a button from the register, for instance), so that I don't need to mannually type the number in the template.

I am trying to create a form with a text box that when text is entered, it adds to the userform another textbox with that data in it. The focus then goes back to the original textbox so that more may be added indefinitely, all with relative position to the most recently added textbox. Here is what I have so far, works for one time, but not multiple textboxes. The original textbox is "txtAPID"
Private Sub MakeNewTextBox()
Dim newTextBox As TextBox
Dim ControlTop As Long
With LastAirport
ControlTop = 30
End With
Set newTextBox = Me.Controls.Add("Forms.TextBox.1", "txtNextAirport", True)
With newTextBox
.Left = 20
.Top = ControlTop + 3
.Height = 15
.Text = txtAPID.Text
End With....................

I've got a range of number sets that i would like to filter. I want to be able to remove sets based on whether they have sequential numbers in them. i.e remove all sets with 4 consecutive numbers within the set. eg. 1,2,3,4,15,34 or 5,6,7,8,12,17 if you get my drift.
I've attached a sample file.

I am new to the VBA editing and I am missing some steps to get my files correctly generated and then ideally saved in PDF format in the same folder.
I have two files; one is an invoice template with the following fields:
Invoice Reference: Line 8 column D
Issue date: Line 9 column D
Client name: Line 11 column E&F
Client address: Line 12 column E&F
Product name: Line 16 column E&F
Product details: Line 18 column E&F
Production date: Line 20 column E&F
Delivery date: Line 22 column E&F
Units: Line 24 column E&F
Total Units: Line 26 column E&F
Total Invoiced: Line 30 column F
Each sheet in the "template" workbook should be named after the Invoice Reference.
Secondly I have the source file in which the data is organized as follows: (Both are in the same folder)
Invoice Reference: column A
Issue date: column B
Client name: column C
Client address: column D
Product name: F
Product details: column G
Production date: column H
Delivery date: column I
Units: column J
Total Units: column J
Total Invoiced: column E
One invoice needs to be created per line in the source workbook. I tried many times the macro recording without getting the correct outputs.
