VBA To Generate Random 5 Digit Serial Numbers?

View 2 RepliesI have a spreadsheet with approx 11,000 rows and I would like to generate a unique 9 digit number for each line.
I know I could just put 100 000 000 and then increase that by one all the way down but I was wondering if there was any formula or code
I've modified this macro I found on this forum, all it does is compares 2 lists of 6 digit serial numbers and and then tells me which numbers are in list 1 that are not in list 2.
However, I want to modify it so that it also gives me the numbers in list 2 that are not in list 1 (put into column F). I then need it to cut the matching serial numbers (in columns A and B) from sheet 1 and paste them into sheet 2.
How do I create a 6 digit unique random number for use as an ID in column A. Once created the rows with preexisting 6 digit unique random ID numbers must not change every time new rows are added.

The user clicks a button to generate the SKU#s to cycle count for that day. What I would like to see is a date stamp in the columns next(B,D,F) to the referenced SKU listing(A,C,E) based on which SKU#s are generated. This will let me see the last date that the SKU was generated. I would also like it to automatically save after generating.

I am creating an excel spread sheet for a project I am doing, I need to create a daily chart for 6 months of water usage that results in averaging set targets.
I have made a chart with the average uses per day but would like to have daily numbers that average out to what i have but in a random sequence e.g. i have that a shower uses 320 litres per day for 2 people is there a way i can make a chart that says: 300 (a1) 340(a2) 260(a3) 360(a4) etc i need to do this for 180 days with random numbers generated to average the same overall. I dont know even how to generate random numbers.
I am trying to generate random numbers between 0 - 9 in ten cells that do not repeat an always include every value 0 - 9 (0, 1, 2, 3, 4,...9). The object is to have the numbers randomize each time. So cells A1:A10 could look like this:
3
9
4
5
1
0
6
8
7
2
Or, they could look like this:
9
7
5
2
8
4.................
generate 100 random numbers between 100 and 300 in some range of cells like A1:j10
View 1 Replies View RelatedAny way/method to make a certain number of cells randomly generate to a specific value you want? I only want to use the number from 1 to 60.
example:
1 37
2 29
3 34
4 2
5 58
6 38
7 =198
I want to generate numbers (1 to 15) in cells A1 through O1, but the
number in each cells should be unique compare to the other cells, how
can I do it? If I use =randbetween(1,15), I can not get unique number
in each cell, some numbers are duplicated.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to generate a dataset to use as an example in a class I'm helping out with.
I want 75 cases (that is, 75 rows)
Column A
randomly pick 1 or 2
Column B
60% 1 and 40% 2 randomly assigned to cases 1-75 (Thus, 45 1's and 30 2's randomly assigned to rows 1-75)
Column C
Randomly pick from the range of numbers 18-65. Make sure the mean for the column is 48.72.
Column D
Randomly pick from the range of numbers 1-7. Make sure the mean for the column is 5.49.
I've got a problem with creating random numbers for a fictional portfolio. I've to have a row of random number but they have to add up to 1. Example: Need random numbers from B1-B11
under constraint: Sum(B1-B11) = 1
I tried to do it with the solver addin, but it only takes simple numbers as a constraint.
I have a frequency list (frequency per year) resulted from previous calculation. What I want is to generate random number as many as the frequency in the specified year, so that every year I will get the same amount of random numbers as the frequency. It is kind of the opposite of FREQUENCY function (but with random numbers involved). I need to use the result for further calculation.
I am trying to generate random numbers with the the constraint that the maximum value is 40 and the most likely value is around 40% of the maximum value. Are there any distributions (lognormal??) that would suit this requirement? Is there any way I can do this in Excel?

I want to make a button on a sheet that when pressed generates a random number between 3 and 18, ideally it would make a new set of random numbers if pressed again.
I need to generate random numbers in the selected range. I've looked at quite a few posts on the topic of random numbers, but I can't find one that will fill the selected range with numbers.
View 9 Replies View RelatedIn an earlier life I was tasked with finding a "random" method of selecting two numbers from a "1 to 20" range so that the generated numbers can be applied to an set of people who will be partnered in a golf game draw.
It is only one draw per year so I don't care if the players have previously played together in past years.
easily be modified by a "passable knowledge level" person to be able to select a mystery "9" out of 18 holes that count for scores that particular round.
(btw: this is an issue only for the 20 guys who go away once a year to play golf, the world will not collapse if I have to draw numbers out of a hat, just looking for a slightly more elegant solution and I already have a few scoring macros so my first guess (but not only possibility) is VBA)

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a mastersheet that once I open I would like to generate a 3 digit serial number in cell C22. Once this file is opened and the number is generated I do not want the number to change at that point. I have a macro to save the file with data in certain cells. Once this macro is run and the file is saved I will need to be able to open that file to view info but the serial number can't change.
I would like to do this without an add-in so that any client can use file no matter there settings if possible
I know you can take a number from one cell and combine it with number from another cell and make it one number. What I need to do is the reverse. Take a two digit number in a cell and separate it into single digits in two cells. If you have the number 50 in a cell, then is there a formula that will take the 5 and put it in cell and take the 0 and put it in the cell beside it?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHow can I generate all the combinations a 3 digit number produces? Example 123 can be written as the following:
123
321
213
312
132
231
I THINK this is all the combinations it will produce.
So what i need is a 6 digit alpha numeric random (1000 entries)
so from some searching i figured that it should be...
=MID(A1,1+INT(RAND()*LEN(A1)),1)&MID(A1,1+INT(RAND ()*LEN(A1)),1)&MID(A1,1+INT(RAND()*LEN(A1)),1)&
MID (A1,1+INT(RAND()*LEN(A1)),1)&MID(A1,1+INT(RAND()*L EN(A1)),1)&MID(A1,1+INT(RAND()*LEN(A1)),1)
[Code]....
but when i fill down it auto it to a2 , then a3 etc... how do i stop that?
I might delete out the o O and 0 cause it gets confusing...
Also, it re-randomizes every time I open the file... is there a way to stop it?
I was just wondering if there is a way to make rand or randbetween functions work with text. Alternatively, is there another function that will allow me to do this, without adding numbers in the parallel row.
I want the column, to randomly choose between "male" and "female". I do not want to add additional rows or columns preferably..
Is it possible to use the =randbetween() function to generate a random number between 0.8 and 1.2.

View 9 Replies View Relatedi have worked in access using vba procedures. i can easily create a form in access that generates a random integer number between 0 and 20 and the user will guess the number between 1 to 20 if the random number is 16 and the user enters 14 the program will display a msg box saying too low or too high. here is the code .
Option Explicit
Private Const MAX = 20
Private Const MIN = 1
Private iKey As Integer
Private lTries As Long
Private Function Random() As Integer
Random = CInt(Int((MAX - MIN + 1) * Rnd() + MIN))
End Function
Private Sub cmdGuess_Click()
Dim lGuess As Long
now i have to do the same thing in excel create a program that will ask the user to enter numbers between 0 to 20 and see if the random number and user guess is same or not. but i have never worked in excel using vba procedures how can i achieve the same thing in excel using a vba procedures.
