I am trying to create a schedule that will randomly populate with names from a list. I have learned how to do this with numbers. How can I do this with a list of names? How can I make sure that no names repeat?
In one column, I used =RAND()
In the cells where my numbers display, I used =INDEX(ROW($A$1:$A$24),RANK(Z17,$Z$1:$Z$24))
I have a worksheet that has 20 quotes in cells A1:A20. Is it possible to have a userform display a different quote in a text box each time the form is activated?

1. Text box1 should be displayed the value of field1 from table randomly, when I click the command button1.
2. Text box2 should be displayed the value of field 2 of the same record, when I click the command button 2.
I haven't figured out a way to do this, but my goal is to (ideally) use a "IF" statement that will recognize the 1st "2" on the list and ignore the repeats
To better explain what i mean by this, attached to this post is a Excel file which clearly describes what I'm looking for
programming in VBA as compared to python, java, and c++. My question is relatively simple. I have a listbox that I want to populate. I've figured out how to populate it using the ListFillRange, but can't figure how to populate so that I have a list of items, but doubles or repeats don't show up. I have a list of 1's, 2's, 3's, and 4's and I only want 1, 2,3,4 showing up as well as any additional numbers added to the list.

I need to make sure they don't wrestle the same people in each round. Also there will be wrestlers from the same team, so is there any way to try and not pair them together unless it is necessary?

I want to randomly pick 1 set of initials from the 4 listed in the 6 cells and put the result in cell a7.
I have a list of potential competitors in an event, and am using both RAND and ROUND to sort them into a list of 1's and zeros. My formula is as follows: =ROUND(RAND()*1,0). My problem is that I get an uneven distribution of players, out of a list of forty, I may have 38 people that are 1's and 2 people that are 2's. I'd really like the list to be randomized, but evenly to allow for fair competition.

I have a column ("C") of 640 numbers, which I need to randomly sort and place into the adjoining (ten thousand) columns. I then need to correlate each of these 10k columns with column "B".
The problem I have with the attached (which works for small numbers), is that when I increase the table size to 640 rows and anything more than a dozen or so columns, it takes forever to calculate and Excel often crashes.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I need to create a function that selects 4 names randomly from a list of 15 names and displays the 4 randomly selected names in the one cell. Also, you cannot repeat the same name in that cell, (i.e. bob cannot be selected twice in his group of four)
View 1 Replies View RelatedIt's a quarterly schedule for utility meter readers, divided up into days across the top, and routes/areas down the side.
There's a space with each route for the employee ID to go, depending on who's doing it.
Down the bottom of the sheet, there's a few empty lines for all the available employees who haven't been allocated to a route.
On the second sheet labelled EMP LIST, is all the employee IDs. It's also got the areas they work- it's for something I want to implement later.
I can put all the employees into a single column list, then use basic DV to give a dropdown menu by each route, to assign an employee to it. This is pretty straight forward. I've also been playing with this in combination with a countif, so that employees already assigned do not appear in the list.
This is about as far as I've managed to get with it.
I need to get the employees who aren't assigned to anything to appear in a list below the routes. I'm fairly sure this is just another countif, but I'm not 100% on the exact formulas.
I also need the list in the dropdown menu to reset for each day of the quarter, i.e. if I assign an employee to a route on the 30th day of the quarter, their ID will disappear from the list for any other route for that day, but will still be there for the other days of the quarter.
So far the only way I've managed to do this is by duplicating the employee list for every day of the quarter, which is going to get very cluttered, and also makes staffing changes difficult. I'm hoping there's an easier way to do this using one data set.
I've added an example of the sheet. It's one week and it's only got about 1/3 of the routes we would actually have on any given day.

I am trying to auto-populate text in cells in area A, based on data I enter into other cells in area B. I want the area A cells to be for display only, as all editing will be done in area B. The problem is: how do I do this such that the text I write does not get cut off if is longer than the column width? See the attached document for a clear example and description of what I am trying to do...

I have the following figures in my spreadsheet and I have been trying to use SUMIFS. However, I don't want to count values in a continuous way, rather than that, I need to count the values ONLY until the number that is being counted repeats.
Example: Spreadsheet from Column Q1 to Column Q6:
Q1 Controlling
Q2 8
Q3 8
Q4 8
Q5 8
Q6 8
On this case, the Excel would count the number 8 five times in this array. However, If there were more number just below the number 8, it would count them as well and that's not what I am looking for.
Q1 Controlling
Q2 8
Q3 8
Q4 8
Q5 8
Q6 8
Q7 5
Q7 8
What do I need is not to count them when the number being counted has stopped to appear eventhough it can be found at Q7.
For my needs the answer should be that the number 8 was counted 5 five times rather than 6.
I have two sheets for club membership, one for recording payments another for the members list. Each membership is valid for a year, they either become a member or renew. I have for example:
Payments
Aaron Adams Member
Barry Burns Renewed
Charlie Clegg Renewed

Barry Burns Renewed
Charlie Clegg Renewed
I want it to copy the new member to the membership sheet but not any existing members.

I have four columns of numbers that range between 1 through 44 and span 100 rows. Each row shows a unique combination as shown below:
Row 1 - 07 18 11 09
Row 2 - 03 29 08 05
Row 3 - 01 20 11 44
Row 4 - 09 17 14 24

Can anyone give me some tips on creating a VBA script that will scan a hundred rows of the data shown above and identify for me the rows where number pairs and number triples repeat? For example the data above shows that the pairs "18 , 11" repeat on Row 5 and Row 1. Can EXCEL perform such a task with the right VBA script or forumula? Is a VBA script necessary or will using an ARRAY be the correct way?

Problem is that when I right click my makro keeps copying itself. Ten times right click=ten my macro in the right click menu. It means that
Private Sub Workbook_Deactivate() doesn't work as it should be?
Cell 1 has 1,2,3,4,5
Cell 2 has 2,4,5,7,9
While combing them into one cell, there will be no repeat of the same number. So the outcome would be
1,2,3,4,5,7,9
The main point here is to merge the two cells together and eliminate the repeated numbers and sorting the numbers in a cell. Or if anyone knows series of steps not just one function to get to this.

I have a column of locations where all the locations start with 'SHIP TO - ' followed my the actual location which can be of varying lengths. How can I display everything after the 'SHIP TO - ' in an adjacent column. My instinct is to use a RIGHT Function, but I don't know how to get that to only display the variable length text after the 'SHIP TO - ', e.g. in another column I want this

SHIP TO - A VERY LONG LOCATION
SHIP TO - HERE

I don't believe my earlier post was a duplicat thread. I posted the original thread, then posted a LINK to the original thread. I didn't even ask the question in the link, so there was no way someone would have wasted time answering the question from there. I didn't think I was breaching protocal. Anyway, since both instances of the thread were closed, here is the re-post.
I've recently been trying to learn a little about pivot tables. In the example attached, I have 2 worksheets. One holds raw data collected from suppliers, the other holds a default pivot table created from that data.
