I have a table with 36 numbers - 6 x 6 that means 6 rows and 6 columns. Numbers 1 – 45.
I want Excel to shuffle the numbers (random shuffle) so they will come in different combinations on each row and column BUT the numbers must not repeat (no duplicates) in the same row or column.
I am making a barrel racing spreadsheet. In Column B I am putting the participants names, in Column C I am putting the name of their horse. So Row 1 will be my header row. What I am trying to do is a random shuffle, but the participant and their horse have to stay together. Also is there a way, where I can put the stipulation, that if a person is randomly put in number 5, that she has to be at least 3 spots away from that number.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am working on a Random Password Generator. Our requirements are that the password should contain the following:
- mixed case letters
- at least one number
- at least one "special" non-alphanumeric character
I created a UDF to do this that works. However, the way that I did this was like this:
- 1st character: special character
- 2nd character: numeric
- 3rd character: lower case
- 4th character: upper case
- rest: any alpha-numeric characters
So while they are "random", they all follow the same "pattern" for the first four characters.
What I would love to do is once I have created the random password, to "shuffle it up" or "mix it up" in random order. So something like:
$2dNKqSc
would be "shuffled" and would would return something like:
SN$qc2dK
(all the same letters, just in random order)
I was trying to do it with Arrays, but I have to admit, arrays are not my strong point. Can anyone help with the last piece? Here is my code that creates the random password.
Public Function RandomPass(myLen As Byte) As String
' Generates a random alpha-numeric password (with special characters) of specified length
' If this is stored in your personal macro workbook and not in the workbook itself, you must qualify the personal macro workbook file to use it
' i.e. =PERSONAL.XLSB!RandomPass(8).......
I have 1200 doctor/patient records to input into an excel spreadsheet for import to an online EHR database. I can set up all the normal formulas and formatting but for the life of me not figure out how to create a custom formula to take the first letter of the patient first name and last name and add 6 figures to create a unique patient identifier.
ie. James + Smith+ random 6 figures = JS245318.
In my spreadsheet the first name is under Column 1, Last name Column 3 and the unique number generated in column 4.
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.

View 14 Replies View Relatedwhat I'm trying to do.
Background:
I play a game that requires 5 members to play, however you can have more then 5 members on the team. In order for a player to receive points for playing they must have played at least 30% of the total games played. The problem for me is when trying to figure out how many games someone needs to play to get to 30%, the total goes up as they play those games.
What I would like to accomplish:
I'm looking for help on a formula that would figure out how many games a player would need to play to get to 30%. I have a column that is total games played, %of games played by player, games played by player, and games needed to play to get to 30%. Basically the user would enter the # of games played by each player, and the total games played overall for the team for that week, the spreadsheet would then show the # of games each player that isn't above 30% would need to play.
I tried to make the question as clear as possible, if anyone needs clarification,

I require is a macro that will check the heading title of each weeks data e.g. WK01, WK02 etc, work out what week it is and input the week number in a new column (Week No) corresponding to that weeks data.
View 2 Replies View RelatedEvery week I get sent a spreadsheet with the hours booked against specific codes, however, each weeks data is in a separate column (from weeks 1-52).
What I require is a macro that will check the heading title of each weeks data e.g. WK01, WK02 etc, work out what week it is and input the week number in a new column (Week No) corresponding to that weeks data and also total the time for that week and enter in the Total Hours column
Please see attached a sample spreadsheet for clarity.
Please also note that I have asked this question before (http://www.excelforum.com/excel-gene...o-columns.html) and DonkeyOte kindly supplied me with the code to work out the week number i.e.
=IF(COUNT($D2:$BC2),SUBSTITUTE(LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,$D2:$BC2,$D$1:$BC$1),"Hrs WK",""),0)+0
however, as the weeks progress I have to manually copy the week number down and add the totals up so I believe a macro would be the best option as I am currently repeating the same task every week.
The macro needs to:-
(a) work out the week number and enter in ‘Week No’ column
(b) macro to copy each weeks data into Total Hours column
I would be most grateful for any assistance in this matter

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.

Is there any way to shuffle those datas given above in same row by running WBA code.
ranges are"K:L"
I feel like this should be somewhat simple, but none of the normal methods I know seem to work. I want to set up a formula (not a basic sort, since I want it to automatically correct every time I change information) so that for each row, several columns re-sort by date.
For instance, I have the following table:
Item Type Dates
A DV 5/2/14 6/12/14 7/11/15
B DS 3/11/13 6/19/14 1/2/15
C LG 11/12/14 8/1/15 1/12/16
...
where each of the dates is in a new column, but the "Dates" title is merged between the cells
I want to be able to resort just the date columns(/cells) for each row if a new date is written. I want the dates to be in ascending order. For instance, if I go back into the worksheet and replace Item A's date 5/2/14 with 1/1/16, I want the date columns JUST FOR Item A to reshuffle/resort to be:
A DV 6/12/14 7/11/15 1/1/16
without it resorting any other rows (Items) columns.
What do I need to do please to have a number in a row 1 to 40 as an example below
1,23,9,25,33,40 each row needs to be 1 to 40 but number no more than once
six rows deep yes the other rows can have the same numbers as above or below
=INDEX(ROW($A$1:$F$10),RANK($H1,$H$1:$H$60))
=RAND() copied H1:H60
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.
I have had some difficulty searching this on the web, but how would I generate a random number between 1 and n?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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.
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 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)
Is that possible with excel 2007?
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.
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.

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 %
