I'm running a Secret Santa DJ competition this year and today now wish to make the draw.
Basically all entrants send in their mixes (in this case - upload to a webserver) and I then wish to try and use Excel to make the draw.
What I'd like to do is have a list of all the entrants in column a, use RAND() in column b to assign them each a number, and in column c use the list of entrants in column a to assign each person a mix to receive.
Through my browsing and searching on here, I came across the following (entered as an array); it's brilliant but unfortunately gives me duplications.
This is a follow-on to a great solution provided by Shg and Rylo. Here is the link. http://www.excelforum.com/excel-prog...new-sheet.html
My users have run in to an interesting issue with the file. Each time the files opens it has the same 5 questions selected. What I need the code to do is randomize the questions each time the sheet is opened. Basically, the users seem to have a problem using the "make quiz" button, so they have requested that I make sure that the quiz randomizes each time it is opened.
I need to randomize cell ranges A2:F51 across the rows. I don't want data to be randomized in any other way then across rows. Is this possible to do. I have found many apps that make this possible, however I don't know how to incorporate this function into my macro.
I have an Excel table with 7 columns. I have used a formula to randomize the data in each column, and it works fine, accept that it resorts/re-randomizes the contents of the table every time data is entered anywhere in the workbook. I would like the data to be sorted/randomized only once, and then only again upon pressing F9, since I have other spreadsheet which reference the data in the table.
This is the formula I use to sort/randomize the data, and I am using Excel 2010 on a PC.
=VLOOKUP(SMALL($C$2:$C$20,B2),($C$2:D20),2,FALSE)
Column B = numbered 1 - 20 Column C = =RAND() Column D = last of names Column E = sorted/randomized list of names.
Suppose in a work book I have a list for data in 5 rows.
1 2 3 4 5
Is there a way to randomize the data with one created button click (like hyperlink button used for linking) so that it may show any random output like 2,1,4,3,5 etc. Next time another click on randomize button creates another set of totaly random order of the 5 data sets.
I have a table like the one below, only it has a few hundreds of rows and columns and I need a solution in order to fill in the blank spaces with 0 and 1 in order to get the total by row and by column. Is there any way to do this with a formula/macro ?
I was looking for some code to randomly generate a number for a prize draw I am doing. I found a great piece on this site, which I have slightly changed to give me what I have below.
It works great except for one thing I cannot work out, I have the code below working on cell "C1", I would like it to work in cell "C5", but I can't seem to work this out.
Sub SlotsNum() Dim w As Long, x As String, y As Long Randomize x = Format(Int((Range("B2") - Range("B1") + 1) * Rnd + Range("B1")), "0000") For y = 1 To 1 For w = 1 To 250 Range("C" & y) = Int(8000 * Rnd) Next w Range("C" & y) = CInt(Mid(x, y, 4)) Next y End Sub
Also, whilst here. i will have one other problem, with it being a prize draw I do not want to draw the same number twice. At the moment I have a small macro that copies the winning name that appears on the main screen (via a vlookup) onto a winners spreadsheet. I am thinking of then creating another macro that replaces the winning name on the master list with an "Already Won" entry, so we can just select again.
Is it possible to add horizontal lines to a user form, like as shown in the attached image. I know about frames, but unsure how to get just one horizontal line.
i have faced a problem i want to draw straight connector using code imagine when you select straight connector to draw line mouse cursor changes when you move it to a node i want to do this with excel vba code without going to shapes and selecting connector.
I have this Command button that switches on and draws a line. If you press it again then I need to delete that line.
If I push the button multiple times Excel keeps changing the name of the line. I have multiple lines on the same worksheet and text boxes but only this 1 line needs to be delete. I would think that theres a way to assign a permanent name to this line and delete and recreate it but...
I have a 5-column listbox in a userform. I do not know how to make the column borders visible. If somebody can tell me, that would be great.
If not, then the next alternative would be to manually draw a line. I tried to so one, by creating a Label with a width of 1, and backcolor ot black. This works but not in front of a list box. For some reasons it cannot be brought to front/forward (order) of a listbox, I already right-clicked several times and sent tthe order to front.
I have attached a very simple example of what I am trying to achieve.So we have 2 sheets. a sheet called data and a sheet called results.
the data sheet, includes ID's of employees and what they are measured on - Hours and Accounts Finished.For example, worker 123 put in 100 hours from the 200 expected and finished 100 accounts from the 200 expected. The main sheet called Results looks up in a list every ID and displays in a table the compensation the worker got. Each time you select from the drop list a different ID number it shows the result and the amount of money they got.
I want to be able to draw every worker and display the compensation they got('Results', H11) in the Pay amount column('Data',H3:H11).
I have a worksheet set up as a draw sheet for a tournament. I have a set of rankings showing all points collated from last tournament. What i want to do is set up a formula/macro so that a cell containing a player eg. the winner will be found on the ranking list and the points won will be added to the next cell on the ranking list.
I've recently come across this wonderful site and have found it to be a pool for great information. I looking for some assistance with finding a macro that will draw circles/dots on a worksheet when the left mouse button is clicked at the mouse cursor location. There may be something out there already??? Here's exactly what I need; I want a macro that will draw 7 different coloured circles (blue, pink, cyan, lime green, red, yellow, and orange) on a worksheet. The macro would be activated from a button (7 different buttons- one for each colour) on the worksheet and when the left mouse button is clicked the coloured circle is drawn at the mouse cursor location.
way to calculate the drawdown for a futures trading account’s equity. The following is the record of taking a sequence of 20 trades. Drawdown is defined as the lowest point between two consecutive equity highs. Therefore a formula should detect pairs of equity highs and then find the maximum difference between these highs and the lowest point in between each of these pairs. Do you think this can be done using standard excel functions?
You might wish to plot a linear graph to visualize the equity. Looking forward to hear what you think! I include more examples of equity records.
formal definition of a drawdown:
Drawdown: The magnitude of a decline in account value, either in percentage or dollar terms, as measured from peak to subsequent trough. For example, if a trader's account increased in value from $10,000 to $20,000, then dropped to $15,000, then increased again to $25,000, that trader would have had a maximum drawdown of $5,000 (incurred when the account declined from $20,000 to $15,000) even though that trader's account was never in a loss position from inception
I have to draw a polygon of n sides whose , whose length of side will be given in the cells of excel and the diagram should be displayed in excel itself automatically
Like I have A1=5 A2=5 B1=4 B2=3 C4=5
Then diagram should be like in the attachment : Untitled5.png‎
