I am working on a Random Cycle Count Generator that provides random SKU#s based on 3 separate columns of SKU listings. The user clicks a button to generate the SKU#s to cycle count for that day. What I would like to see is a date stamp in the columns next(B,D,F) to the referenced SKU listing(A,C,E) based on which SKU#s are generated. This will let me see the last date that the SKU was generated. I would also like it to automatically save after generating.
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.
How do I keep the same names from coming up on the same column when randomly generated there (I hit f9 and names randomly generate on my sheet)? I'm trying to integrate this fix into =IF(Override!G5>0, Override!G5, Shuffle!A34) formula. That formula is the formula that recieves the randomly generated names into the cells I have chosen. The override is so I can do just that if I dont like the generation of names.
example:
name 1 name 2 name 3 name 1 <---if that happens I want this cell to respond by reshuffling until it equals a name that is not in its column, but just that one cell, not the others.
I need the easiest way to randomize or generate team numbers in a league. Using COL A assign numbers between 1 & 8 without duplicates. Then repeat 5 more times. This has to be done on the spot and has time constraints as the players will be waiting for their team assignments.
EXAMPLE: I have 48 players which will be assigned to 8 teams of 6. I want to randomize the drawing so the same players don't play on the same teams each week. Also to be able to adjust number of teams determined by how many players are present. either 6 , 8, or 10 teams.
I'm needing to generate a unique random value for a database with 3546 cases. The unique random values cannot be duplicates of each other. I tried the =RANDLOTTO function that I learned of in an old post on this board, but that results in "#NAME?" appearing in the first cell. I tried to install the Add-Ins (both the Analysis ToolPak and the Analysis ToolPak - VBA, but nothing seems to happen. Is there another way to generate these numbers?
I have two worksheets. ws1 contains a large number of dates on column 3. ws3 contains around 20 dates on column 3.
I want to pick two dates randomly in ws1 that does not already exist in ws3.
Here is my working code, but it is really slow to process. How to optimize this code? Also I would like to add a function where if the macro is not able to find two random dates that aren't already in ws3 then exit loop.
VB: Set ws1 = thisworkbook.sheets(1) Set ws3 = thisworkbook.sheets(3)
lr = ws2.Cells.Find(What:="*", After:=[A1], SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row Set rvis = ws2.Range("c2:c" & lr).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible) mynodate = 0
I need to generate 8 (random) numbers which should range between 0 to 80 and the sum of those generated 8 numbers should be 80.? How can I achieve this.
I have a list numbered 0 to 300. What I am looking for is a formula to randomly select 150 unique sets of two numbers and list them in separate columns for a competition draw and should appear as per the example below
I am looking for a way to create a random order of numbers in a given range. For example, A1:a100 to be populated with a random number between 1 and 100, but not to duplicate, using every possible number within that range. I use the RANDBETWEEN function to generate the numbers, but I cannot prvent them from duplicating.
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.
I am creating an excel spread sheet for a project I am doing, I need to create a daily chart for 6 months of water usage that results in averaging set targets.
I have made a chart with the average uses per day but would like to have daily numbers that average out to what i have but in a random sequence e.g. i have that a shower uses 320 litres per day for 2 people is there a way i can make a chart that says: 300 (a1) 340(a2) 260(a3) 360(a4) etc i need to do this for 180 days with random numbers generated to average the same overall. I dont know even how to generate random numbers.
Any way to make say cells A1 thru A10 produce random numbers from 0 to 9.
I would like to do it without a macro if possible. I also need a button to generate those random numbers. I know this button may make it impossible to not use a macro. If it has to be done with a macro then so be it.
I have a process that generates the value X in cell A1 randomly. So I can change the value of X in A1 by clicking on F9. I want to sum a sequence of X values. I can do this by manually copying each X to a row of cells and then summing the row values. But that is tedious. Can the summation be done automatically without being regarded as being circuler?
I am trying to generate random numbers between 0 - 9 in ten cells that do not repeat an always include every value 0 - 9 (0, 1, 2, 3, 4,...9). The object is to have the numbers randomize each time. So cells A1:A10 could look like this:
I have two rows in a sheet with random numbers (1 till 90).
Those numbers in those two rows I change them every 5 minutes with new one still from 1 to 90 I need a "way", in one side of my sheet (lets say in column B) to count how many times a number was repeated after finish my work (example after 2 hour's)
I'm trying to generate random numbers that will add up to a certain number and am having trouble brainstorming how to do so. For example, I'm trying to get a+b+c=6 with a, b, and c randomly generated to add up to 6.
Any way to make say cells A1 thru A10 produce random numbers from 0 to 9.

I want to include some random numbers in a large multi-tabbed spreadsheet, but I do not want the number to recalculate every time I make another entry on the tab or elsewhere in the workbook. I would like each tab to have one or two random number options, but each should calcualte independently based on their own inputs.
The "randbetween()" function recalcs with every/any change in the workbook.
Specifically, I want to begin with a random percent between 0 and 50% and then add three fixed values (percents) and one different random percent between 0and 30%. then I want to total all of them.
Random % (0-50) + X% + Y% + Z% + random % (0-30) = total %
Im an using excel to run a simulation of demand over a period of 200 days. i have an average daily demand of 7.75 and a stdev of 2.6. Is there any way to generate random numbers (for daily demand) based on this data?
