Multiple Choice - Select A Value Based On Its Probability Of Occurring
Dec 24, 2009
I have the following table:
http://img85.imageshack.us/i/tableb.jpg/
Each question is multiple choice (either A/B/C/D/E) and the values listed are the probability of each letter occurring. What formula would I need to put in the 'output' column for it in each row to output a letter based on the probabilities. E.g. in question 1, most of the time it would output E, but sometimes (rarely) A and very rarely B/C/D.
i have a user form with 4 combo boxes and one text box. what i've tried to do is make it so that if the month combo box reads january, then all of the info is placed in a worksheet called january. at the moment it is putting all the info inputted into one sheet. if some one could take a peek at the code below.
If cbomonth.Value = January Then Sheets("January").Select
Range("A1").Select
Do If IsEmpty(ActiveCell) = False Then ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select End If Loop Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell) Or IsEmpty(ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1)) Or IsEmpty.....................
I have two data sets one measured and one modelled and I am testing a conceptual model that proposes that only where the tails of the probability distributions of each data set crosses will you experience an event. I'm enclosing an example file which contains both data sets and some descriptive statistics as well as the associated histograms and a diagram of what I'm ultimately trying to achieve. My question is how I go from the data sets I have with such a large discrepancy between them to plotting their probability distributions?
I have a set of 4 multiple choice answers B,C,D,E column "F" lists a # 1-4 which lets you know which column letter (b,c,d,e) the correct answer is in. I want to set up a formula that will copy the contents of the correct answer (based on that # identifier) and copy it into column "A" which is currently blank.
A_________ B Frank Sinatra C Sammy Davis D Dean Martin E Joey Bishop F 3
I want to put "D"'s value 'Dean Martin' in column A - i know it belongs in A because the "3" in column F indicates its the 3rd answer listed i.e Dean Martin. This format would be the same where there are 4 possible answers on the column to the right dictates which answer is correct.
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 need contents in cell A5 to turn red based on 2 criteria occurring.
IFCell F5 is greater than 0 (zero) AND IF date in H5 is equal to or less than 30 from today's date. PS: if needed I have today's date in A1 for reference.
Find the most common occurring string in my spreadsheet based on a lookup value. For example, if my table is as follows:
Capture.PNG
- I want to calculate the most common value chosen by user 234 (A in this case), user 524 (B in this case)... and so on. - I want to calculate the percent of the chosen value. So in the previous point, A was chosen ~67% of the time by user 234... and so on.
I'm not sure which formula to use. I am able to find the most common occurring value in column B using the formula below (which I found here), but how can I do that for a specific value, a user ID in this case?
I would like a macro that select all cells based on multiple criteria. It's a big sheet, but I've made it smaller in the following example.
In row 1, there are 2 headers, in B1 (electricity) and C1 (gas) In column A, there are 3 houses, in A2, A6 and A10. The blocks of cells in between (e.g. B2:B5) have 2 headers, 'period' in B2, and 'account number' in B4. B3 and B5 have a list of options in them.
I want to select cells that meet certain criteria. Either electricity or gas, and either period or account number. So, if in cell D1 I choose electricity and in D2 period, I would like to select B3, B7 and B11. If I choose gas and account number, I wish to select C5, C9 and C13.
I have a column where each cell contains the names of a variable number of worksheets in the format ["sheet1", "sheet2", etc. ] without the brackets but with the quotation marks. I would like to have some code that will select all of the sheets mentioned in a given cell. I found lots of threads about selecting an individual sheet based on a cell, but none about selecting multiple sheets. If it is easier, I can change the format of of the cells, or break each cell out into multiple cells in a given row. The best code I could come up with was
Sub Selects() Dim strSht As String Sheets("Criteria").Select strSht = ActiveSheet.Range("L31") Sheets( Array(strSht)).Select End Sub
I currently have a drop down menu in one of my worksheets, in which I have several different text values entered. What I would like to do is link each of those text values to a numerical value, which would be entered in to another cell. So if I select "Option A" from my drop down list, and Option A is equal to 200, I want "200" to show up in another cell. If I select "Option B" from my drop down list, and Option B is equal to 400, I want "400 to show up in that same other cell.
1) Prompt user to select a file (or multiple files)
2) Copy the files that meet certain criteria to a folder
My attempt (fail): VB:
Sub FILES2SFTP() Dim FileNames As Variant Dim I As Integer Dim fso As Variant Dim Data As String ChDrive "G:" ChDir "G:TEST" Data = InputBox("Enter the date", "Enter the date", Format(Application.WorksheetFunction.WorkDay(Date, -1), "yyyymmdd")) Set fso = [code].... I get error 424 object not found in this line:
If fso.getfilename(FileNames(I).Name) = ("Name1" & Data & ".xls" Or "Name2" & Data & ".xls") Then
I am having trouble getting the selection of sheets to work. I have a workbook that has multiple sheets and one constant sheet (Summary). There is code to create new forms in this workbook and insert them after the Summary sheet. These forms all have a date input that is formatted as a date (mm/dd/yyyy), these dates get modified on the day the form is created, there may be any number of sheets created during this process. I have to print the summary sheet and only the newest forms created. I need a code to select sheets to print based on the date input of a user for each form. This is what I have so far:
VB: Dim i As Variant i = Range("B5").Value >= InputBox("What date to start PDF from? Format = mm/dd/yyyy") Sheets(Array("i")).Select [code]....
If the dim can be taken out and just included in the line for the array that would be fine with me. The cell "B5" is where the date is located in each form. I want to input a date and the macro will select the sheets where the date is equal to and greater than the date entered. The Summary sheet will always be included in the print set. I have a dialog box for setting which printer to use - this file will be used at different offices and therefor the printers will be different and it will also allow to create a PDF if desired.
I have a spreadsheet with a heap of raw data in it. I need to perform a search based on a customer name, then return certain columns from the raw data IF the customer name is matched in one column, AND a special flag name is matched in a second column. The customer name is always a single entry for the purpose of the query, however the special flag must be checked against a possible list of values in a table. I know this is hard to explain, and I can't add attachments to my posts, so I have created a sample document and placed in in dropbox:
I have a worksheet that has 8 activex listboxes. Each listbox is tied to the sames list of values (identified as a named range). The named range is a list of countries. Each country should only be selected once, therefore, I would like the selected country(ies) to not show up as a choice when the user makes a selection from another listbox. If this is too hard, maybe we can get a msgbx to appear anytime the users tries to select a country that has already been selected.
I have attached a file with VBA code. I want to be able to select more than one person in a drop down list (column C) and have those choices show up in that cell. The range you select from is called name, Column H.
I've looked at is a number of ways but my VBA code does not seem to work.
Have been going round and round on this! I have a set of data that shows sales dollars by weeks. Currently, that data is in a Pivot table. I'd like to have a macro that selects the weeks (1-52) based on my input. For example. If I want to see weeks 5-52, I want to be able to input "5-52" somewhere and have a macro run that will select weeks 5-52 in the pivot table instead of having to go in and manually select each.
I check the FAQ and couldn't understand the advice. How do you create a list to select a number of items to use in a spreadsheet. I wnat to us this list mutiple times in the same spreadsheet.
Columns represent each student's test (There are 31 test numbers) The test consisted of 50 multiple choice questions, each listed in each row. The green column shows the correct answer for each question.
I need to tally the score for each test in the orange row.
I have two different modules in my automation - to be specific one module to convert file from LH to RH and another module to do the reverse - convert RH to LH.
I have put up a radio button choice for the user and based on which radio button is selected would like to run that particular module.
Below is my code. It always throws an error "expected variable or function not module"
VB: Option Explicit Public Sub MAIN() If ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("FRONT").OptionButton1.Value = True Then Call LH_to_RH
[Code]....
I am following the correct procedure to call modules. A few minutes of search said the modules have to be public sub routines
What I want to do is lets say in the drop down menu I have options Food, sports, Movies. now if I select Sports then it should give me a sub caterory options like baseball, hockey, football and not the options for food & movies as well - so as to make the choices lesser and more user friendly. How do I create that - is it too tough - I am a novice in excel. Can you upload an example sheet with tips on how you did it. I have uploaded an example.
I'm looking to set up a combo box with different year options and add functionality so the data that can be seen on the sheet at a given time is driven by the combo box year value. (functionality somewhat like a webpage, where once you choose a certain value from a drop down box, you see data corresponding to the value)
I'm using a ComboBox ,ComboBox2_Change(), to Call and run 1 of 4 different macros. It works fine if I choose a different item in the list each time, but if I choose the same one, it won't run the macro a second time.
I have a combo box that I have populated with choices (months of the year). I require users to select the month they wish to view their payslip with and then press "Go" (a command button) and jump to the worksheet that contains their payslip info. How do I get VBA (Excel 2007) to do this please? I have tried on the CommanButton1 code page to type
If combobox1.value = "May" Then Goto Worksheets("Sheet3")
This doesn't work and I know I'm doing something wrong as I remember when I was doing my project at school you had to give each combobox selection a value like 0, 1 or 2 but I cannot remember how to do that!
I have a drop-down box(K6) When a style is selected I need to have data show up in other drop-down boxes (H3,L3,P3) These selections would only pertain to the selection in K6. They would change when a different style is selected. There are multiple choices in the secondary drop-downs. [IMG][/IMG]
What I need to do is create a Drop Down box. When a user makes their selection it gives another drop down box from what they selected. Each choice in the 1st drop down will give a different drop down box in the next field from what they selected in the 1st. I am having troubles getting this to work.
