Randomly Pairing Wrestlers In A List?

Nov 23, 2013

I want to be able to input wrestlers names and pair them up for 2 matches randomly. Is there any way to do this? I am not advanced in excel, but not a novice either. 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?

Sorting A List Randomly, And Fairly.

Jul 17, 2007

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.

Randomly Sorting List Of Numbers Into Different Permutations

Mar 1, 2014

with this problem (which I've been trying for weeks to solve).

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.

Randomly Display Text From List Without Repeats?

Dec 11, 2013

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))

Randomly Select Varied Amounts Of Data From A List

Sep 10, 2008

I 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.

Select Fields At Randomly

Apr 11, 2008

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.

Randomly Pair Up Players

Nov 19, 2012

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))

Randomly Generated Numbes

Aug 30, 2007

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.

Select Names Randomly

Apr 17, 2009

I'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

Join 1st & Last Names Randomly

Apr 22, 2008

This request is for Excel 2003 rather than 2007 (company does not have Vista or 2007 as I do personally). When two columns are used for an employee's 1st Name and 2nd Name, what is the random formula for combining BOTH columns in a random name pull? Since two people may have the same LAST name, only by accessing both column one (typically LAST name) and column 2 (first name) can they be identified if both last names appear in a random pull. I have used the random generator available from Excel Help online but do not know how to modify the parameters to accomplish keeping the first and second names from Column A and Column B together in the pull.

Explaining this will be widely useful for any company (such as trucking) using Excel for employee first and second names in two columns (assume A1 header 'Last Name', A2 header 'First Name'). Such companies need to be able to do a random pull to comply with DOT (Dept of Transportation) CDL re-certification, substance abuse screens, etc. I am just above a NOVICE user (I have a dozen books I try to learn from before asking).

Cell Values Change Randomly

Aug 14, 2014

I created a multipage spreadsheet to track stocks. Two pages import quotes from Microsoft automatically about every 10 minutes. The main page organizes these stock quotes next to the symbols. Stock price, $ change, then % price change.

For example, for symbol INTC,
PRICE cell is =Quotes!D120.
$ change is =Quotes!J120
% change is =Quotes!I120

Now all of a sudden, during a random refresh, EXCEL IS CHANGING THE VALUES from D120 to AB120. J120 to AG120. I120 to AH120. That was after fixing it earlier today. Earlier today it randomly changed those values to something else. Like A, T, and V substitutes for the proper fields. This is happening to about 10 stocks in a row, but I think I saw it on a couple others earlier. It is as if someone is changing these fields (but they aren't!) The fields on the pages being pulled from are staying the same.

Using Office (Excel) XP on a Windows 7 PRO 64-bit OS.

Return Value Randomly From A Range Of Cells

May 16, 2013

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.

Randomly Shuffling Data In A Column
