Random Numbers Generation, No Repeats

May 8, 2006

I'm trying to write a code that will generate random numbers and no number appears more than onece.


For I = 0 To 3
For J = 0 To I
Do
n = Int(4 * Rnd) + 1 'random number generated
Array1(I) = n 'random number settled in an array
If (I = I - J) Then 'checking for the same place in array
numsOK = True
Else
If Array1(I) = Array1(I - J) Then ' comparing two different places in an array
numsOK = False
Else
numsOK = True
End If
End If

Loop Until numsOK = True
Next J
Next I

the sum should be between 83&88. I need acondition such that the random
numbers generated in Column A&B Should satisfy the Column C(A+B)

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.

Advanced Random Number Generation

Jul 29, 2009

I understand how RAND and RANDBETWEEN work, but have a slightly more complicated random number generation problem that requires a number that isn't solely between two numbers.

I have one cell that is randomly generating a number between 0 and 350 (we'll call this value A) and another randomly generating a number between 0 and 15 (value B). Then, I have a third cell (value C) that equals 15 minus B. Where I am having trouble is with a fourth cell (value D). This cell I want to have randomly generate a number between 0 and 350 but it needs to be D less than the value in A or C more than the value in A. Is there an advanced random number generation technique that can solve this?

Random Number Generation Without Repeating Across Same Row Or Column?

Nov 24, 2011

Been trying to think of a way to get random numbers 1 to 36 generated without repeating in the same column, however also getting it to perform the same opertaion in 9 more columns (B:J) without the same number appearing in the same row.

example

1 2 5 4
2 5 3 1
3 4 1 5
4 1 2 3
5 3 4 2

Unsure if this is possible, have created a basic script for random number generation but have no clue how to expand across columns.

Interesting Question - Random Number Generation

Oct 1, 2008

it is possible to generate a completely random number generation in excel?

Other than using the rand() function and then sorting by top or bottom (as then have affected the sample by choosing which direction it is sorted).

And the randbetween() function changes everytime you modify a cell.

Find Minimum Number In Given Set Of Numbers Without Repeats

Dec 24, 2011

So i need a way to find the minimum number in a given set of numbers without there being multiple minimums. For example if you had 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 the minimum would be 1. If however you had 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5....i want excel to recognize there are multiple minimums (two 1's) and produce a warning (i realize this probably needs to be coupled with an if statement).

Generate Random Numbers In Random Cells

Sep 18, 2009

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.

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.

VBA For Random Numbers?

Apr 6, 2014

How can I use a macro on a button in SHEET 1 to generate random numbers on SHEET 2 as follows?

Cell A1: (1-10)
Cell A2: (1-6)
Cell A3: (1-100)
Cell A4: (1-12)

I've got it working with formulas, but every time I press "DELETE" the random numbers jump to new values.

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.

Summing Random Numbers?

Feb 23, 2014

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?

Random Numbers With No Duplicates

Jan 30, 2010

I want to set up a column of numbers that will be random without any repeating numbers.

Example: If I set up for 1,000 rows, I would like the random numbers to be 1 to 1,000, but the catch would be to have no duplicates in the column.

It has been several years since I worked with Excel and I am sure this can be done with a macro, but I am not sure how to go about it right now.
