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?

Dim iRows As Integer
Dim iCols As Integer
Dim iBegRow As Integer
Dim iBegCol As Integer

View 4 Replies View RelatedRandomly 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? .......

Automatically Add Items To One Of Several Lists In Another Worksheet?
Jul 4, 2014I have two worksheets. In the first one column holds the names of universities, and the next column holds employee names. For example:
London Metropolitan University | Chris Davis

London Metropolitan University | Stefano Carlino
London South Bank University | Simon Forsbrook
London South Bank University | Peter Lacko
University College London | Ben Burch
University College London | Oli Lan
In the second sheet, I'd like the universities to appear as headers to the columns, with all the employees of that uni to be listed underneath. I'd also like for these lists to be updated automatically as new rows are entered in the first sheet.
Sorting List Of Items Into 2 Separate Lists
Oct 25, 2011I work for a printing company that prints labels. We have 6 printing presses, lets call them A,B,C,D,E & F. Certain labels can only be printed on printing press F.
From our business system I can run a report in excel format giving details of all the labels that we have sold in the present month. I need split that report into 2 separate excel spreadsheets; 1 showing everything that was printed on presses A to E and the other showing everything printed on press F.
I also have another excel spreadsheet which gives a complete list of all the labels that have to be printed on press F.
Every label that we print has a part code and both spreadsheets show this part code so that would be the linking factor between the 2 sheets.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSelect 30 Random Items From A List
Apr 30, 2014I've got a list of items (formatted alphanumeric) in column G starting at row 2. I would like a cell formula that would randomly select 30 items from this column and place them in column H starting at row 2. One caveat is that the list must remain static once created. If the Rand()function is used, it recalculates whenever the worksheet is updated so that might be a problem.
Cell formula to do this? A VBA solution would be OK as well.

VBA To Select Multiple Items In Pivot Table
Jun 21, 2012I'm trying to write a macro to select the multiple sets of the same data for several PIVOT tables. I've tried Slicers but it seems that this takes up too much processing power and always times out.
My workaround is to do a macro that picks out the said data, however when i do the below, plus another 4-500 lines i get told that there are too many line continuations
Code:
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable6").PivotFields( _
"[Postal District].[Postal District].[Postal District]").VisibleItemsList = _
Array("[Postal District].[Postal District].&[AB11]", _
"[Postal District].[Postal District].&[AB12]", _
[Code] ...
What I'm looking to do is express all the postcodes in one line or at least multiple post codes in one go, this is what I've tried:
Code:
"[Postal District].[Postal District].&[AB12].&[AB13]"
and
Code:
"[Postal District].[Postal District].&[AB12,AB13]"
But to no avail.
Query Design - Select Items Not In Array
Feb 11, 2013I need to query table contents where some general items are met, and item id's are not contained in an array.
Example:
Code:
SELECT LOOKUP.*, LOOKUP.Var FROM LOOKUP WHERE ((LOOKUP.Name)="test" Or (LOOKUP.Name)="test2" AND ((LOOKUP.Type)=3) AND ((LOOKUP.Var) ("array", "of", "items")))
I need to know how to add an array to a query since I can't hard-code the list each time, and the array can be a different size each time, so using array variables doesn't make sense here.
