How To Generate Random Numbers In Range 1:20 With Unique Results
Mar 22, 2014
In 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 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 to create a sheet to generate Random numbers from 2 specific list of a main list range of 36 Numbers. (List A = Specific 15 numbers, List B = The remaining Numbers from these 36)
Example :
-The Main List Range is from Number 01 to 36
-The Specific random list will be 15 Numbers of these 36
List A-. The Specific 15 Numbers are: 01,02,03,10,11,12,13,20,21,22,23,30,31,32,33
List B-. Remaining Numbers : 04,05,06,07,08,09,14,15,16,17,18,19,24,25,26,27,28,29,34,35,36
So
I need to generate ONE Unique Random Numbers of List A ( 01,02,03,10,11,12,13,20,21,22,23,30,31,32,33)
In Cell A1
In Cell A2
In Cell A3
And from List B, (04,05,06,07,08,09,14,15,16,17,18,19,24,25,26,27,28,29,34,35,36)
I need to do the same thing In

It's possible to have a 6 cells with random but Unique Digits? (not repeated numbers between the 6 cell ??)

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.

I 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 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

I'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've been using excel for quite sometime but have never tried the macro system or posting VBA code so I'm wanting to get my feet wet with a little project.
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 have 12 Cells, years 1 to 12. I want to create a random number for each cell, which then depending on what the number is, either 1-75 being 8,000,000 or 76-100 being 10,500,000, place it in the cell and be able copy it down. What i have done already you can see on the attached workbook, or the table i used:
I used this table to generate the random number to give either 8m or 10.5m, except i put the VLOOKUP in the year 1 cell, added some dollars signs and copied down but that only makes them all the same, so i want a way to make each year have its own random number preferably without making 10 tables.

For example, A1:a100 to be populated with a random number between 1 and 100, but not to duplicate, using every possible number within that range.

I've read a lot of tutorials on how to use pivot tables, but found them either too basic, or too advanced, and never finding any example of what I am looking to do.
I have a database, column A holds names, and column B their phone numbers. I'd like to generate a list of unique names and their associated telephone numbers. I figure I can use a pivot table to do this.
But I do not quite understand how to format the pivot table to put the name in one column and the phone number in the next. I will use this pivot table as a vlookup range. I assume I can do this.

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..
