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?
View 3 RepliesI am working on a Random Cycle Count Generator that provides random SKU#s based on 3 separate columns of SKU listings. 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 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

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.
How do I use RAND to generate random numbers between 0.25 & 0.5?
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 have a userform for keeping records and would love to incorporate a new feature. I would want to generate a random serial number for each entry made with the userform.

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)
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))

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.

In addition to data from af directory i got it must be possible to solve some home-made problems. Therefore i need to make a program that can generate new problems in Excel - likely on the same sheet used for the imported problems (another code i got).
It should be possible to specify the size of the problem, in other words the number of cities. Like the problems from the same directory. The problems i am generating have to consist of a number of cities with its x-y-coordinates. It will be useful if the program or the user sets a minimum and maximum value of the allowed x-y values so they are within a certain interval.
Do i need a very big code for this?

I need the easiest way to randomize or generate team numbers in a league. Using COL A assign numbers between 1 & 8 without duplicates. Then repeat 5 more times. This has to be done on the spot and has time constraints as the players will be waiting for their team assignments.
EXAMPLE: I have 48 players which will be assigned to 8 teams of 6. I want to randomize the drawing so the same players don't play on the same teams each week. Also to be able to adjust number of teams determined by how many players are present. either 6 , 8, or 10 teams.
