Select Fields At Randomly
Apr 11, 2008I 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.
Select Names Randomly
Apr 17, 2009I'm trying to pull 20 random names from a list of them every time I open the spreadsheet, and have them copied onto the clipboard to be pasted wherever. I have some code I found to accomplish this, but I'm not exactly what you would call VBA savvy. Could anyone look at this and see what I'm doing wrong? Or if it is right what I'm doing wrong to get it to work?
Sub GetRandom()
Dim iRows As Integer
Dim iCols As Integer
Dim iBegRow As Integer
Dim iBegCol As Integer
Dim J As Integer
Dim sCells As String

Randomly Select Value Meeting Criteria From Table
Jan 17, 2007I have a table detailing products and product options showing the options possible for each product. Each row has an option class and value(in separate columns):Color Red,Color Orange,Color Blue,Style A Style B and so on. Each product is in column.
Valid options for a product are indicated with a 1, invalid options with a 0. See attached sample file.
For instance, if the product in question is Alpha, then available colors are red and blue.
For a given product I need to return a randomly generated valid option. As I want to be able to drop in additional products and options, I want to return a value without resorting to manually generating a column containing only the valid options. The real data set amounts to dozens of options types and hundreds of parts for which I want to generate test data.
Randomly Select Cells Based A Couple Rules
Nov 6, 2007I have a sheet that has 13 players listed in rows down column A. I have 6 columns each representing a quarter in a game. I was wondering what the best way would be to randomly select 5 players in each column and to distribute each cell selection as equally as possible over the 6 quarters.
So what I am doing is having excel designate equal amounts of playing time for each player each game.
Is this possible.
Can I base this off of previous games?
Randomly Select Varied Amounts Of Data From A List
Sep 10, 2008I have a list of people in column A and a list of Cities that they have visited in column B.
I need to check some of the cities they have visited monthly but don't want to check them all.
I have attached a sheet as an example (this has been scaled down).
The number of cities i want to check for each person varies each month depending on how many cities they have visited.
For example, John has visited 16 cities and i want to check 5 of them. I therefore want 5 random cities that he has visited to appear next to his name at the top. The real list of data is massive so this would be really useful if it is possible.
I have looked at rand but i can't get it to randomly give me more than one city, and i don't understand how to get it to give me say 5 cities one month and say 8 cities the next month purely based on a formula from another cell.
Randomly Select From Alphabet Based On Letter Frequency Distribution
Jan 8, 2008I want to randomly select letters from this distribution (to make random words) but I want the more frequent letters in the distribution to be selected more often so that the word I form have the same distribution. I have the feeling there is a simple solution to this but I couldn't see anything other than the frequency function that I thought I might be able to use. I could populate an array with letters present in numbers according to their frequency and then randomly select from it but is there a more elegant solution? .......

Jun 23, 2014I have a list of several hundred columns, beginning with column "G:G", with varying numbers of rows of data in column - each row dipicting a monthly data point. I'd like to average the numbers in each column (need to average over the appropraite time-frame) and compare that average with the corresponding average (same time-frame) for benchmark (column"F:F"). The problem is I don't have the same number of data points in each column; some have data points for every month for the past 33 years, and some just a few years; almost all have differing beginning and ending dates as well.

Hide / Unhide Rows And Columns Based On Several Date Ranges
Mar 19, 2014I am building a sheet to display deadlines (rows) by project (columns). I would like to have it automatically hide the rows and columns based on the date of the deadline. If the deadline is today or 1 week from today the associated rows and columns should be visible, otherwise, I would like to hide them.
My table is A1:N9, with A1 being a blank, row names A2:A9, and column names B1:N1.
Macro: Create Named Ranges. Unknown Columns/Rows
Sep 9, 2006I need to make named ranges from an unknown number of columns(at least 1) each with an unknown number of rows. Each column has the name of the named range as the first row, and then a variable number of rows containing part numbers.
I can do it 1 by 1, but id rather do it in a loop so that blanks dont cause errors. there will be different people using versions of this sheet with different model/part number information What i've tried: Count number of colums with row 1 containing data (11 max, which is more than will ever be used) add into array(I know i dont really need to add into the array, but i might use it later for some other code). The problem i'm having is finding the range of rows that need added to the named dynamic range and adding it.
modelcount = Range("G7") 'G7 (for now) contains =COUNTA(H1,I1,J1,etc)
For i = 1 To modelcount
Redim Preserve Models(0 To i)
Models(i) = Cells(1, i + 7)
Range1 = Cells(2, i + 7).Address(xlA1)
lastRow = Cells(rows.Count, i + 7).End(xlUp).Row
Range2 = Cells(lastRow, i + 7).Address(xlA1)
Reference = Cells(2, i + 7).Address(xlA1)
ThisWorkbook.Names.Add Name:=Models(i), _
RefersTo:="=OFFSET(Reference,0,0,counta(Range1:Range2),1)", Visible:=True
Next i
This gets me the range i need, but doesnt create the named range properly. If i go to insert>names>define, the named ranges are created, but they dont relate to the data in any columns. It shows the variable names rather than the cell range the variable represents.
Creating Multiple Named Ranges X Rows High X Columns Wide
Mar 13, 2012I need to create hundreds of named ranges going down a single sheet.
The name of the first range is in cell a1 and is 13 columns wide and 7 columns high (a1:m7)
The next name is in a8 and the range is a8:m14 and so fourth
If it's easier on a separate sheet I can have a list of names I want in column A and then the cells they refer to in column B.
E.g.
A B
Range1 Sheet1!A1:M7
Range2 Sheet1!A8:M14
Range3 Sheet1!A15:M21
How To Randomly Sort Rows Of Data

After random assortment:
A2 B2 C2
A1 B1 C1
A3 B3 C3
Randomly Choose Sample Rows After Using Autofilter
Nov 5, 2009Can anyone explain clearly (using layman terms) about how to go about randomly choosing specific number of rows from a set of autofiltered records?
For e.g., If there are 1000 rows of data in a worksheet and after applying autofilter to certain column(s) [one or more] say i get some 75 rows. Then how can x no. of rows be chosen where x can be input by the user or calculated based on a certain percentage? Say if out of these 75 filtered rows, 8 rows have to be chosen randomly - where 8 can be input by the user or also be calculated as 10% of 75.
Also, is it possible to choose these x records from the filtered set of rows without actually copying them to another sheet?

Select Non-Adjoining Ranges In VBA
Aug 28, 2009I have a protected worksheet with 60 columns (20 sets of 3), and want to give my users the ability to hide the columns they're not using. There's a row of unprotected cells below the columns in question with data validation allowing a choice of either Show or Hide, and want my macro to act based on thier choices.
Since it's a large spreadsheet, I don't want to run 60 (or 20) different hide commands, if at all possible.
Is there a way to read the 60 different Show/Hide cells (or 20 range names) and join those into a single VB range so I can run the EntireColumn.hidden = True statement once?
Target.offset To Select Ranges
Mar 27, 2007i'm having a really hard time figuring out how to use target. offset to grab a range of cells. For Example:
I am currently running a macro that searches column "D:D" for data. When the data is found, i want to be able to Grab columns D to AG for that row, and apply conditional formatting. It seems like using Target.Offset should be able to accomplish this, but i can't figure out how to specify a range using Target.Offset. Currently, i have to specify each cell i'd like to select, and apply formatting one at a time, which has bloated my code considerably (and causes me to run out of room very quickly).

Select Multiple Ranges Stored In Range Array
Nov 19, 2013I am trying to do something that sounds fairly straightforward but have not been able to achieve the final result.
I have a sheet which has multiple range addresses stored in different cells and so far I have been able to pass the Range address to Range variables by looping through a range array. Now I would like to select these multiple ranges. My code looks as below;
VB:
Dim Cnt As Integer
Cnt = Sheets("Sheet1").(Range("1040").Value ' Cnt holds the the total number of ranges to be specified in Sheet1
Dim RStr(1 To 80) As String ' This will hold the range addresses specified in Sheet1 in cells C1041 to C1120. Upto 80 range addresses could be specified.
[SIZE=2] Dim Rng(1 To 80) As Range ' This will store the ranges based on the range addresses stored in RStr()
Dim i, j As Integer,

I am not sure on how to select multiple ranges using range array hence tried Union() however it is obviously not correct and throws an error.
Programming A Macro To Select Row Ranges Based On A Formula
May 2, 2009I'm building a macro thats copying 4 rows of data at a time from a spreadsheet (has 1500 rows of data total) and transposing it to a master spread sheet. There are blank rows in between each entry (the data source I'm using isn't clean), so how can I either have the macro jump to the first row it finds with a value, copy rows until it stops finding a value, paste+transpose into a new document and then repeat the process throughout the document.
If thats too complicated, a macro that finds rows based on a formula would work as well. E.g. Start at row 5, copy+paste+transpose 5-8, start at row 11 (5+6), copy + paste+transpose 11-14, start at row 17 (x+6) ...etc... Here's the code I have developed thus far:
