Basically I have 2 columns:
column 1 is numbers 1,2,3
column 2 is letters a,b,c etc
I'd like a macro that randomly matches column 1 and 2
e.g
1 c
2 p
3 n
but i'd like it so that the number 5 always returns z
by what means is it possible to unselect randomly selected areas, rows, columns from all sheets?

What im trying to do is match columns A & B from AUDIT Sheet to Columns A & B in MASTER sheet. If they match then pull columns C, D & E from MASTER into AUDIT.
I have four columns of data, as follows:
label 1, value 1, label 2, value 2
I need to create a formula in the fith column that for each line will tell excel to:
look for entry in 'label 1' in 'label 2' if there is a match, then subtract value 1 from value 2, display result.
I have tried doing this with SUMIF but am getting nowhere fast....
HOw can I match combination columns of A-F (row1) to combination H-M (rows1 to end) and show how
many are number matched in column N..

I have 2 worksheets in which I have to copy one column of cells from one to
the other. The problem is that the "main" worksheet lists nearly 3,500
clients and I have to copy numbers into the "main" worksheet on weekly basis
from another worksheet that lists only about 1,100 of those 3,500 clients.
Both client lists are in alphabetical order, but I obviously cannot just copy
one column into the other, because then the numbers won't be matching the
correct clients.
I have two columns one is web addresses and the other is email addresses but the rows do not line up. I was hoping that since the second half of the email address matches the web address I could somehow sort them so that the email address column and web address column match up. Here is an example but keep in mind that this list is about 9k long and this is just a sampling so you may not see any in this example that match. Also I may have more than one email address per website.
View 9 Replies View RelatedNow i have one excel sheet with two separet sheets in it ( Sheet 1 ) and ( Sheet 2 ) . I have in sheet 1 a column A with material codes and ColB is discreption and Col C IS Prices . But in Sheet 2 Col D is materila Code and Col I is a price .
the recordes in sheet 1 are around 11000 but in sheet 2 are around 2200 where the sheet 2 has a specific materials from sheet 1 .
Now i want to update the prices in sheet 2 from sheet 1 for each item after confirm that the materila code in sheet 2 equal in sheet 1 so copy the price from sheet 1 to sheet 2
Sheet 2 is old prices and sheet 1 has new prices so i need update the new prices in sheet 2
I have 2 workbooks (workbook1 & workbook2). Information in column A and column N must match both workbooks per row/ cell (ie. if A2 and N2 in workbook1 match workbook2, copy information from 3 other columns (S, T, U from from workbook1 into workbook2 - cells S2, T2, U2). Workbook2 may have information in column S, T, U, but I need to over-write it with the information from workbook1. If the information does not match per that row/cell (ie. A2 in both worksheets are the same, but N2, they are not, so go to the next line that does match and copy the information into worksheet2). I do not want to use a V- lookup for this problem. I really need a marco.

Pls see attached example. I am trying to find the "?" values, by matching column A&B of the input to the Data columns and returning the $$$ column.
I thought this wouldve been a piece of cake but its got me stumped!
I have a situation where I need to match 2 columns, Data in Column E & Data in Column R.
When there is not a match, there must be a set of cells/row inserted to the right or left depending on which data is missing and the data beneath must be shifted down.
There have been issues with doing this because once a cell is added, the formula for matching does not stay consistent.
I have attached an example where the tab "Final" is the end product needed and the First 2 Tabs are the Raw Data
The Steps are to take the data from the first 2 tabs and align them side beside only being divided by a column and another to match the 2.
I would like to sort columns B and C (keeping the two lined up together) so that A and B match up numerically.

I have six boxes (each for one day of the week, excl. Sunday) and a separate box containing names. I need to come up with a way that excel will automatically add those names to any five of the six boxes at random (always leaving exactly one box free for each name), and always choose which box at random.

Ok here is the example of 2 sorted columns A and B, the result in C column should look than like i posted. C is the matched B column with A.
I heared there is a vlookup function for that, but I don't know how to use it :S
What do I do to setup a column so that is matches the other columns. Basically when the other columns move, this column will move with it.
Example:-
Name Team
John Smith Old Mill
Terry White Pickwick
Martin Jones The Star
How do I get it so that when the player column moves, the team column moves accordingly?
In sheet1 columnA I have some data from that i want to copy randomly 50 rows to sheet2.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Is there a function in Excel that would randomly select one of the 4 specified numbers?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to make code to randomly pair up players. I have found code which makes a button that randomly pairs up players in a list but I want to make it so that ? players are paired with ? other players instead of everyone at the same time so that a person dosn't get paired with more then one player at a time.
E.g. take the first 6 players in a last and pair them with the second 6.
This is the code I found:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim x As Range, RanRng As Range, z As Range, oRes, Ray
Dim i As Integer, j As Integer, real, oSt As Integer, cl As Range
Dim oCol As Integer
Set RanRng = Range(Range("A1"), Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))

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.
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?

Dim iCols As Integer
Dim iBegRow As Integer
Dim iBegCol As Integer
Dim J As Integer
Dim sCells As String

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).
I've got a problem with an index match formula that does not work
Sheet 1:
Country Year GDP
A 1960 =
A 1961
A 1962
B 1960
B 1961
B 1962
Sheet 2:
Country Measurement 1960 1961 1962
A Population 12 15 18
A Inflation 3% 4% 3.5%
A GDP 158 160 161
B Population 78 80 81
B Inflation 2% 1.4% 2%
B GDP 600 608 610
How do I get, for instance, the GDP measure of country A in year 1960 from sheet 2 into cell C2 in sheet 1?
I have a worksheet that has four columns. FName LName FName1 LNanme1. The data doe snot match between the columns... but I need to know which are in both columns.
I need to write a formula that will allow me to compare the LName with LName1 and give me some type of indication there is a match (1, yes, etc.). Ideally, after confirming there is a match, It would create another verification that FName and FName1 also match, but that is not necessary.
I have a spread sheet with columns like this:
A B C

Column A is an ID for manufacturers. Column B is the manufacturer name. Column C is the order in which the manufacturers appear. There are duplicates in column C only. They are supposed to be there, and they must remain there. I need column C to match up with the IDs in Column A so it can look like this:
A B C D
1 a a 1
2 b a 1
3 c b 2
4 d b 2
5 e b 2
6 f c 3
7 g d 4

How can I do something to either line up the names, or make them change colour or something so I can see the matches?
