I have copied and pasted the formula off the ozgrid page using a 3 column table laid out as I believe it should be however I just get the # name? error message what I am not doing right. Please help. I just want to be able to generate a random name from a table of names, eventually I need to amend the formula to encompass a larger table but I can't get the example to work!
We get several sets of season tickets to various events to be distributed amongst several managers based on the mgr's headcount. So mgr1 may get 20 dates while mgr2 gets 5. All this info is calculated on Sheet1, but the only info that is important for this exercise is the mgr's names and how many dates they get. Available Dates will always be the same as Total Headcount.
Short of writing names on sheets of paper and drawing names from a hat, I would like to automate this process w/ a push of a button.
Sheet1 - this is where the managers are listed and their Headcount is calculated.
B C 10| Mgr1 Mgr2 12| 20 5
Sheet2 - this is where my ticket information is listed and will change based on different events.
A. B. C. D. 1| Date Row Seat Mgr 2| 1/1/08 H. 1-4. Mgr1 (20 times) 3| 1/1/08. I. 1-4. Mgr2 (5 times)
Ideally I would like to place a button on Sheet1 or 2 that would execute a code that looks at the range of Mgr's names and based on their hdct, inserts their name THAT many times in column D of Sheet2 like the above example.
This information should not change once it's assigned or unless the button is pushed again. The number of Mgr's names in the row on Sheet1 will change, but is never be more than 15, so the code must skip over cells that are blank if referencing, for ex. B11:P11.
I would like to randomly pick a name based on percentage. In the example below Deb takes up 50% of the wheel, if you were to spin the wheel she would have the highest chance of landing on the dial. How you could make excel randomly pick a name based these odds. The list will have over 50 names and each name will be earning points throughout the year. The more points you have the higher percentage of the pie you get and the higher your odds off getting picked in the lottery.
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 have a worksheet that has all the numbers that I picked for the pick 5 lottery, listed from B24:N71. These are 5 different numbers. What I want to do is highlight the cells that equal the 5 numbers that were drawn, which I have located at S5,T5,U5,V5,W5
I need a function like a sumif, but rather than adding together numbers, I want it to pick the minimum. For example, if I had a list of prices for various products, I want the formula to go and find the lowest price for a particular product.
I have the following formula =IF(VLOOKUP(F89,'2013 susp 2714035 Reissues'!F:F,1,FALSE)=F89,"yes",FALSE)
That is supposed to look at the tab 2714035 Reissues and find the same dollar amount. The issue Iam having is the dollar amount can be a negative or a positive amount but the formula is only picking up the number if it matches exactly negative to negative or positive to positive. formula to pick up the matching number if its a negative or a positive.
I need to generate 8 (random) numbers which should range between 0 to 80 and the sum of those generated 8 numbers should be 80.? How can I achieve this.
I have a list numbered 0 to 300. What I am looking for is a formula to randomly select 150 unique sets of two numbers and list them in separate columns for a competition draw and should appear as per the example below
I am looking for a way to create a random order of numbers in a given range. 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 use the RANDBETWEEN function to generate the numbers, but I cannot prvent them from duplicating.
Say value in A2 and A3 is 4.5 and 5 respectively and the value in A1 is and 1 respectively B2 and B3 have zeros.
Case 1 : Now I would like to have value A1 in C2:AZ2 till the value in A2 gets exhausted.
Hence C2 = 1, D2 = 1, E2 = 1, F2 = 1, G2 = 0.5, H2 = 0, I2 = 0 ... and so on
Case 2 : Values in C3:AZ4 should be A1 till A3 gets exhausted. But the constraint is the values in the above range should start from/next cell when we left CASE1
For CASE-1 : C2 is =IF($A$2>0,IF(SUM($B$2:B2)$A$2,$A$1,0),0)
D2 is =IF($A$2>0,IF(SUM($B$2:C2)$A$2,$A$1,0),0)
and so on...
But this works only if the numbers are whole numbers, I tried a lot but I could not get a formula which works with integers. The above formula will fail if the number is say 4.5 -having decimal part.
For CASE-2 : C3 is =IF($A$3>0,IF(COUNTIF(C$2,1)>0,0,IF(SUM($B$3:B3)$A$3,$A$1,0)),0)
D3 is =IF($A$3>0,IF(COUNTIF(D$2,1)>0,0,IF(SUM($B$3:C3)$A$3,$A$1,0)),0)
When the numbers in A2 and A3 are decimals and not the whole numbers.
The data is a column of zipcodes, a column of timezones for each zipcode, along with a column of this past years sales leads, showing a count of the number of leads from each zipcode. I want to assign territories to 10 sales agents based on an equal division of the number of leads in each time zone; that is, based on last years leads each agent would be assigned zipcodes in each time zone so that all agents would end up with the same number of leads in each time zone.
This would generate a random number into RPlayerNum variable, based on the list in sheet RPlay, missing off row 1 as the header.
However we have noticed a massive flaw in this code.... It works as long as the excel file is open, each time run it gives a different random number. However if you close the excel file and open it, then run it, it ALWAYS gives the same number first run, every time.
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.
Any way to make say cells A1 thru A10 produce random numbers from 0 to 9.
I would like to do it without a macro if possible. I also need a button to generate those random numbers. I know this button may make it impossible to not use a macro. If it has to be done with a macro then so be it.
I have a process that generates the value X in cell A1 randomly. So I can change the value of X in A1 by clicking on F9. I want to sum a sequence of X values. I can do this by manually copying each X to a row of cells and then summing the row values. But that is tedious. Can the summation be done automatically without being regarded as being circuler?
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:
I have two rows in a sheet with random numbers (1 till 90).
Those numbers in those two rows I change them every 5 minutes with new one still from 1 to 90 I need a "way", in one side of my sheet (lets say in column B) to count how many times a number was repeated after finish my work (example after 2 hour's)
I'm trying to generate random numbers that will add up to a certain number and am having trouble brainstorming how to do so. For example, I'm trying to get a+b+c=6 with a, b, and c randomly generated to add up to 6.
