Randomly Generated Number Focusing On Range
Jul 30, 2012
What I need to accomplish here is to randomly (or at least seemingly enough) generate a number between A and B values for many cells.
I know i can accomplish this through =Rand()*(B-A)+A
However lets say that the lower limit is 96 and the upper is 100. How would i get my data spread to appear to center more around 98-99, with a few randomly placed a little farther out but still within 96-100? I'll say i have 500 instances of this generated number. So what i need is the appearance that most of the numbers lie within the inner range with some anomalies outside that but still within the greater range, having fewer and fewer instances as the value gets closer to the outer limits.
I'm also placing this value in cells using VBA (most likely "for each cell in range(xxx)...")
How would i go about this?

I am trying to highlight a cell based on two randomly generated number, one is the column and the other is the row. Based on those values I want to change the color of a cell in a range of data. The formula I am using does not work like I intended. It only changes the cell once I enter a value in the cell not until. =OFFSET(A1,B27,B26). B26 and B27 are the cells housing the random numbers and A1 is the base reference.

Not sure if there is a way to do this. I'm using excel 2010. I used this function
=INDEX(Sheet5!A1:A149,RANDBETWEEN(1,ROWS(Sheet5!A1:A149)))
I have a list on names that is in the range on Sheet5!A1:A149 I'm using the function to randomly select one of those names.
What I want to do: I want to add the randomly generated name to a range that I can then refer to later to see if that name has already come up. So I know if that name has already been used.

I wish to create a new sheet/workbook which promts the user to enter a start number and an end number. I want to then display 20% of randomly picked numbers between the start and end figures.
For example, the user enters 1 as a start and 20 as an end figure. 20% of this is 4, hence I want the system to randomly return 4 numbers between 1 and 20.

how to use the random number generator to generate unique numbers (1-55) based on the odd percentages in the attached chart.
for example in the chart, chances 1 through 10 are more likely to be generate first rather then the last chance number 55 based on the draft pick odds....

Is there a way to auto generate a unique number that will stay with the adjacent data record? My problem at the moment is when a record is deleted or the data sorted the ref number changes. I am using Excel 2008

I am have some code that takes values from a range (sourceAll) defined on my worksheet as:
Set sourceAll = Workbooks(pathnm).Worksheets(m).Range("A1", "S34")
I'd now like to be able for the range to be generated dynamicaly, but my problem is that the far right column (S) does not always have a value for every entry. Is there a way of using a column that does have a value for every entry, say column B, but then extending the range accross to S? If possible I'd like to avaoid having to move one of the columns with values for every entry. Auto Merged Post;I was looking at some of the suggested threads and found some code that I worked into my own
Set countRow = Workbooks(pathnm).Worksheets(m).Range("B1250").End(xlUp)
Set sourceAll = Workbooks(pathnm).Worksheets(m).Range("A1", countRow)
sourceAll = sourceAll.Resize(sourceAll.Rows.Count, sourceAll.Columns.Count + 17)
now this seems to work mostly, but it has deleted everything that was in column B.

I need a cell to display the (text) content of 1 of 25 cells. example: I have text content in all cells ranging A1:A25. I want cell B1 to display the content of 1 of these at random. is there a function for this or do I need to use a macro?

I'll be collecting registrations on an Excel worksheet at a company event. Users will fill out a registration form, click a button, and the information is moved to a hidden sheet. That part works perfectly.
Periodically during the day, we'll give out door prizes, selecting winners from the list of registrants.
I need a macro that will look at the entries in column A in my hidden sheet and return one of them randomly.
I know there are random number generators, and I could make one of those work, but if I could just have it make a random selection from the populated cells in Col A, that would be slicker.

I have a macro that copies rows from my DAILY OCCURENCE sheet that have a YES in them to my MANAGER SUMMARY SHEET and G1 is selected which has a hyperlink that opens a new email with the manager's email address and Subject pre-assigned.
I then have to manually go back to the newly generated summary sheet and select the cells and paste them into the email that was just opened.
Is there a way that the generated rows are already copied in memory and all i have to do is CTRL+V into the new email, or even better, the cells are pasted in the email automatically? So basically either the information being copied over stays in memory, or after it is copied into the summary sheet it is copied again. I just dont know how to copy unpredictable ranges generated by macros.
The code that generates my summary sheet for my manager is below.

I’m creating a spreadsheet to control corrective actions. Each corrective action will have a date that it needs to be completed by. When the completion date plus one day is passed, I need the cell that the completion date is in, to turn a specific colour and a warning mail to be sent via outlook When a further six days have passed I need the cell to turn a different colour again and another email is sent
Ive generated the following code to call an Outlook subroutine if the correct conditions are met. The subroutine runs ok but I can get the sheet code to run.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Range("A1"), Target) Is Nothing Then
If IsDate(Target.Value) And Now() = Target.Value + 1 Then
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
Call Mail_with_outlook
ElseIf IsDate(Target.Value) And Now() = Target.Value + 6 Then
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 5
Call Mail_with_outlook
End If
End If
End Sub

I'm trying to sort some data that is generated from a PDF. When I copy the PDF into Excel all of the data is placed into one cell. Is there a function or formula I can use in VBA or within the spreadsheet to accomplish this?
For example, the cell may contain "Employee John Employee Steve Employee Dave Employee Jed Employee Mark" in cell A1. I want the function to list John, Steve, Dave, Jed and Mark in separate cells. So I need to get rid of the space bar hits, the word employee and to separate the names to different cells.
A1 currently is "Employee John Employee Steve Employee Dave Employee Jed Employee Mark"
I would like to create a formula to have cells:
A2 = John
A3 = Steve
A4 = Dave
A5 = Jed
A6 = Mark

I have the following code that will look through an individual worksheet, if the value in column D is equal to 5 and the value in cells E6:L1000 is "a" then it should generate an email. The problem I am having is that it generates 8 emails, one for each column. What did I do wrong in the code? It should only generate one email for the cell which has the "a"
Sub Test()
Dim OutApp As Outlook.Application
Dim OutMail As Outlook.MailItem

Set wsWH = Worksheets("WH")
lngMax = wsWH.Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row
For intFiveDays = 6 To lngMax...................

We are having a sporadic issue throughout our company where when users attempt to open an ASP generated spreadsheet in Internet Explorer and then hit CTRL+A to copy all contents and attempt to paste into a regular Excel-launched spreadsheet (i.e. launching Excel independent of IE), the last two columns are not being copied. Further, when attempting to just copy the two columns, themselves, only the first is copied, and when attempting to copy one cell each in the two columns (that are in the same row), only the first cell is copied. Additionally, when examining the clipboard in this instance, only the first cell is being copied to the clipboard, so for some reason attempting to copy it out of the Excel spreadsheet that opens in IE is when the issue occurs (vs. having the issue occur when you are trying to copy into the new Excel spreadsheet from the clipboard).

I have made a calendar in excel, and need to make the following work.
I have six boxes (each for one day of the week, excl. Sunday) and a separate box containing names. I need to come up with a way that excel will automatically add those names to any five of the six boxes at random (always leaving exactly one box free for each name), and always choose which box at random.

I have a file here that already has macros in it. The file is basically a excel document generator. When you click create sku, the document will generate multiple documents based on the user inputs.
1) In the generated documents the original "generator" file creates, I need generated files to have column B and D formatted to TEXT, currently all the generated files are formatted to general. (This code is in module 1, line 84 col 34.)
2) The other problem is I need to append the value in Cell N1 in the "sku data entry" sheet to be appended to the generated file names. (this part of the code is is in module 1, line 150 col 28.)
I was unable to attach my file to this thread because it was to big. however I copied the module where I think the code is causing problems:
Sub procData()
' Starting point for read/extract process
Cells(4, 6).Select ' Range = F4 (row 4, col 6)
For x = 6 To 52 Step 2 ' col F to col AZ

Prior to Excel 2007, the functions provided by the Analysis Tool Pack (ATP) are provided by a separate add-in. You cannot call them using the methods shown above. First, you must load the Analysis Tool Pack - VBA add-in. Note that this is different from the Analysis Tool Pack item. Once this add-in is loaded, go to VBA, open your project, and choose References from the Tools menu. In that dialog, choose atpvbaen.xls in the list of references. Once you have that reference in place in your VBA code, you can call the functions in the ATP as if they were native VBA functions.

I have thousand rows of data in the following format:
Despatched Time
Batch
Date
Time
Amended Time
20/4/2013 3:45:00
1
20/4/2013
03:45
[Code] ..........
'Date' is generated by =IF(A2="", "", TRUNC(A2))
'Time' is generated by =IF(A2="", "", IF(E2 = "", A2 - TRUNC(A2), TIME(LEFT(E2,LEN(E2)-2),RIGHT(E2,2),0)))
And sometimes I may want to change the Time, so I used another column 'Amended Time' to insert a 4-digit value to do so.
I want to arrange them into batches according to the hh:mm, so for the column 'Batch', I used the following formula:
=IF(D2 = "", "", IF(EXACT(D2, D1),MAX(B$1:B1),MAX(B$1:B1)+1))
The problem is, when I changed the time by inserting 4 digits in 'Amended Time', the time value is actually different from those generated by TRUNC(), so even two cells have the same time '03:46', the time value is not exactly the same and so they are arranged into different batches (please refer to the following table).
Despatched Time
Batch
Date
Time
Amended Time

I have written the VBA code to color any figure above 15, but it display rows above 15 as red including other rows.
Below is the VBA code
Code:
Sub FillCells()Dim lRow As Long, lColumn As Long
'Using Cells property to refer to range
'Loop through rows
For lRow = 1 To 10
'Loop through columns
For lColumn = 1 To 5

Which shows the output as Workbook1.jpg But my query is how to get only rows above 15 with red color

At present I have the following formula entered and it works, but after I click F9 some repeated numbers are generated.
=INT(RAND()*(80-1)+1)
How can I change the formula or replace it?

Suppose that you have some data points and you want to fit a straight line to them. You write the line's equation in the cells ajacent to your data points, make the square of each difference, sum up all the squares and you have your objective function. Of course your line equation depends on two parameters, that you enter in two cells. Then you run the Excel Solver, enter your objective function as target cell to minimize, enter the range containing your parameters, set your constraints and off you go.
So far so good.
And now suppose that in order to generate your model data it is not enough to write a straight line equation in some cells, but rather to run a complete reactor model (contained in a macro). How do I couple that model-generating macro with the Excel Solver? Now, I actually found a solution. I wrote a Worksheet_change macro in the sheet containing the model parameters, which calls the model-generating code each time the parameters are chenged by the Excel Solver. This has worked fine for a simple example as the straight line one.
Now one of the two:.....

Is there a way to control the number generation. I would like to be able to run different scenarios with the same set of random numbers, then regenerate the random numbers and do it again. Right now every time I do anything in the spreadsheet, I get a new set of numbers.

Basically I have 2 columns:
column 1 is numbers 1,2,3
column 2 is letters a,b,c etc
I'd like a macro that randomly matches column 1 and 2
e.g
1 c
2 p
3 n
but i'd like it so that the number 5 always returns z

I have a workbook with sheet 1 called Support which is basically an input form. The second sheet is called Database.
I want to enter data into the form and via a macro copy the data to the database. I have followed a text book to the letter on how this is to be completed to the letter.
My problem is that when the data is written to the database some of the fields are blank. Using F8 I can step through the VB script which appears to select fields at random.

I am trying to make code to randomly pair up players. I have found code which makes a button that randomly pairs up players in a list but I want to make it so that ? players are paired with ? other players instead of everyone at the same time so that a person dosn't get paired with more then one player at a time.
E.g. take the first 6 players in a last and pair them with the second 6.
This is the code I found:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim x As Range, RanRng As Range, z As Range, oRes, Ray
Dim i As Integer, j As Integer, real, oSt As Integer, cl As Range
Dim oCol As Integer
Set RanRng = Range(Range("A1"), Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
