The macro below will randomly pick a cell (with names)and fill with color. What I want to add is after it pick a cell a msgbox with a name of that person with YES/NO, if YES fill color. I need it not duplicate once it has already selected that cell(person).
Code:
Function RandCell(Rg As Range) As Range
Set RandCell = Rg.Cells(Int(Rnd * Rg.Cells.Count) + 1)
End Function

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'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?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I 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?
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.
I 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? .......

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.

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.
give me the script (syntax) and place to be written it in a form in ms access 2003.
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.
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).
