Does anyone know of an Excel macro or function that can generate say 1000 strings of 6 numbers from 1 to 49, without repeating the same combinations?
Kind of like the random picks that lottery machines generate.
You must install "Analysis TookPak-VBA" before doing this; check in your Excel's Tools/Add-Ins menu. Paste this long function (see below) in an Excel's worksheet (any cell) and press F9 (calculate) until you see at least 2 identical numbers. Real life's lottery does not have repeating numbers. I can disable this repetition by using cells relation but I want to use just one (1) cell. Any expert wants to challenge? If not, you can use VBA. But it still requires one (1) line of codes.
=RANDBETWEEN(1,50)&" "&RANDBETWEEN(1,50)&" "&RANDBETWEEN(1,50)&" "&RANDBETWEEN(1,50)&" "&RANDBETWEEN(1,50)&" "&RANDBETWEEN(1,50)
I have a range of cells that have values from 1 to 7 in them. What I would like to do is to have the next column generate a random number from 1 to 7 that does not generate the number that the cell next to it has. for example if cell A1 has 6 in it, I would like cell b1 to generate a random number other than 6 in it. if cell A2 has 3 in it then cell B2 would generate a number other that 3 (1,2,4,5,6, and 7).

I have 4 names, and a grid of 100 boxes. I need those 4 names randomly deposited in the 100 boxes, making sure each name is displayed an equal number of times (25 each) Is there an Excel formula to compute this?
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhat I'm trying to do is as follows:
Sheet 1
A1 through A6 has STR, DEX, CON, INT, WIS and CHA. B1 through B6 is waiting for results from sheet 2.
Sheet 2
A1 is data validation of d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20 and d100. A2 through A7 are currently Rand formulae triggered by A1 with B1 adding number of dice (minimum 1) and B2 a modifier value add to the rolled result. D2 through D7 are data validation modifiers of -10 to +10 (0 included). E2 through E7 is the result of A2+C2. The Rand works fine, but every time data is changed Rand recalculates. I'm hoping for a macro executed by a button to generate six random numbers based on the chosen die value of A1 ranging from 1-4 to 1-100. The die roll can never be below 1 and no higher than the chosen die. I then want to transfer the result from E? To sheet 1 B1 to B6 matching its appropriate atribute. I named them Char01_STR, etc on sheet 1 A1 to A6.
I have code that generates random numbers 1 - 90, what I would like is when the command button is pressed the numbers are generated every 5 seconds, I have attached the workbook.

I have made a Excel base "Application form".....it is a master copy.
I want to send a copy to a client....which has a unique serial / code number e.g. IF/001/2014.....
Presently, I am doing it manually, as application send to many clients...it become a hectic job to remember / note down the serial number....
I am trying to use a "Active X control" button to generate the desired serial number.....
There may be five categories.... IF, IA, OGG, WC, TU respectively.
I want five button to perform this job....
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.
http://www.devx.com/vb2themax/Tip/19233
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?
As you can see below, I've written code that writes random numbers into three columns of a spreadsheet (10 numbers in each column).
What I want to do is create code that will run the random number generator for a period of 1 minute and then stop. I know that I will need to write a timer subroutine to do this but I'm how unsure how to do this.
I run the company office pool / lottery. A person selects 6 numbers 1-49. Twice a week the provincial draw is held. if your number matches the drawn number i would highlight your number on the spreadsheet. When all of your numbers are highlighted, you win. This usually takes 3-4 draws to cover all your numbers. Ideally i would like to simply enter the drawn numbers & have excel automatically highlight the number next to each persons name if they have selected that number.

I need a vba that can generate all set of 6 number combinations with the total sum of 100.
For example: 3, 6, 4, 15, 35, 37 = 100.
Tracking winning lottery numbers using conditional formating on a worksheet.CF only allows 3 formats I need 10 is there a way around this.In cell B2 I choose Conditional Formatting from the Format menu.I select Formula is from the drop down menu,and enter the formula =COUNTIF($N$2:$S$2,B2)>0 Then I hit OK.I then click on the Painter button on the toolbar and apply this formatting to the rest of the lotto numbers.I can do this 2 other times but i need it to work 10 more times,if there is no way around this, is this formula possible in VBA and how do I enter it.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am setting up a spreadsheet with two columns. The first column will contain a persons name the second column will contain four numbers.
Name Numbers
Joe 1,3,12,24
John 4,12,23,24
Jill 6,14,19,26
I need to be able to search to find the following: the correct sequence of numbers e.g. if 1,3,12,24 were pulled out then that search is easy. If I was looking for someone who had the numbers 1,12,24 then I have a problem. I was thinking about putting the four numbers in to four separate columns but my Excel knowledge is poor.
I have a list of 10 of my favorite/lucky numbers that I want to play in the lottery. The lottery picks 5 numbers total. I need a way to show me all the possible combinations of my 10 numbers picked in a 5 number draw (hope that makes sense). There are no repeat combinations- for example- I DO NOT WANT 1-2-3-4-5 and 5-4-3-2-1 to come up as separate combinations- so each of my favorite #s needs to be used only once in each combination, and each set used once.
I have searched this board for 2 hours now- read tons of other posts, but not finding a real solution. The output will be a list of all the possible combinations (no repeats, and no permutations) using my 10 favorite numbers. Another example-
1-2-3-4-5
1-2-3-4-6
1-2-3-4-7
1-2-3-4-8
1-2-3-4-9
1-2-3-5-6
1-2-3-5-7
and so on.
How do I create this? I realize the resulting table will be quite a large number of combinations- but we're going to have fun with it and pick a few at random.
my spreadsheet logs call references and total times, as well as the date.
All the data is stored in the worksheet 'Data' while I want this report to be generated under the worksheet 'Admin' - I do not want it to be live either, I would want it so you press a button to generate the report so the data does not change (hopefully making this easier in the process).
There are 2 things I want to do with the report, first is to log all the calls by date to generate an average per day. Secondly, I want to generate a list of the 5 longest calls so these can be reviewed.
Im trying to write a spreadsheet to generate track times (anywhere from 9 seconds to 2 hours) for a RP. Im not really sure where to start, but if I can get a push on the start I can finish it out.

I got this code from this board and it works OK for generating 1 password. What I want to do is to generate X amount of passwords on to sheet2, so if I use cell B1 as the amount of passwords required it will generate that amount on sheet 2.

Dim Password As String
Dim PasswordLength As Byte

I am organizing a sports tournament and would like excel to randomly generate the teams for it.
We have 20 people who will be organized into 10 teams of two. how to setup the formula to have two people randomly paired together without duplication. The names will be further used in other formulas for points calculations.
So, I have the names as A1:A20 and then would like the teams generated from B1:B10 and C1:C10 with the team being the row and the team members in the B and C columns.
I am trying to create a random name generator. I have tried something like this...
=INDEX('TM Names'!$A$2:$A$36,INT(RAND()*35+1))
But sometimes it will give you the same name 2 or 3 times in a row. I need it to pull up a different name each time, from a list of names I already have.
In Column A I have a list of 8 team names.
In column AB I have a list of 28 weeks written in date format.
In column B I'd like to chose one week from the 28 weeks listed in AB at random. But B2 - B9 can not have the same date (ie could not have two dates for the 19th of April).
How exactly is that done?
Alternatively - is it possible to have in Column AA the 8 team names. In Column AB the 28 weeks. In Column A a random team picked from column AA and in Column B a random date picked from Column AB. Both column A and Column B can not have duplicates... There's 28 weeks with 8 teams - therefore I only need 8 unique weeks.
I would like a template that allows me to create of a randomized raffle. How to create one, but need it for a raffle I am holding, where some participants have more tickets than others.
