Random Number With Normal Distribution

Jul 19, 2006

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

Positive Random Number Generator From Normal Distribution

Oct 29, 2009


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?

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.

NORMAL DISTRIBUTION

Oct 24, 2005

I know EXCEL has functions for both the NORMAL DISTRIBUTION and the
cumulative value thereof...

but is it possible to graph this data..

(I imagine if I sort the data and then calculate the ***. distributions into
a column...then chart it, it should work; BUT IS THERE ANOTHER WAY?)

Normal Distribution Graph

Nov 16, 2006

Say I measure the height of 1000 people and I have those in a column in excel. It should be a normal distribution with mean x and standard deviation y. How do I actually graph it so I can see the normal distrubution curve that looks something like this:
[url]

I tried making a scatter graph but it graphs them point by point. I want the height to be on the x axis and something like frequency on the y axis.

Probability Density (normal Distribution)

May 11, 2014

I'm trying to make a bell curve (normal gauss distribution). I have some problems regarding the probability density curve, since its values are so low. If you look column N in the attached file - I used the NORMDIST command. Values should be somewhere between 0,2 and 0,4 - but they're about 100x lower.

Calculate Critical Values For Normal Distribution

Dec 4, 2007

I have weird alpha value like 14.385%, a sample size (36). What is the corresponding critical value for the normal distribution. There are questions like this dealing with the Student T dist, Chi Squared and F distribution. If i can figure out how to do it for one I can probably do it for all of them.

Random Distribution/Allocation

Nov 1, 2009

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)....

Converting Number With Space Into A Normal Number

Jan 2, 2010

I have to use data copied as text from a webpage. Some numbers stay with spaces so are recognized as text I think i.e. 3500 will be "3 500".
I think there was a formula to convert that into number or any other way ? Couldn't find it on the forum so far :/

Random Number

How do I make a row of 5 random numbers in A2:A6 that are not the same as each other. It's basically for a Bingo card. I have a formula that can calculate the random numbers =INT(RAND()*15)+1 under the B's for example, but I can't seem to figure out how to make it so they are not the same.

Random Number Between Two Numbers VBA

Jan 3, 2014

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.

MC W/Random Number Generation

May 4, 2006

I get the following error whenever I try running a Monte Carlo simulation with iterations in excess of 64000 (The MC simulation calls the 'NormSInv' worksheet function at least once per iteration, and the argument to the 'NormSInv' function is always a standard normal RANDOM number also generated by Excel VBA): Run-time error '1004': Unable to get the NormSInv property of the WorksheetFunction class
Why do I inevitably encounter this error ONLY when the number of iterations exceeds 64000, for instance? Simulations with iterations < 64000 run smoothly without a glitch.
