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 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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a problem in terms of summing unique numbers in a set of reoccurring numbers. Due to the restrictions in the spreadsheet I am unable to use a filter / advanced filter or pivot table. What I basically want to do is sum every time there is a different number. In this case it's:
37.85+80.61+129.38+185.85+1259.69+104.96
The unique numbers have a maximum of 6 and a minimum of 3. Is there a generic formula that I can apply so that it only counts / sums the number once. I can use VBA code or just a simple array. I'm just not familiar with any sort of functions that can do this.

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.

I have a column of numbers (each cell represents number of chicken eggs produced daily). Column data runs from K9:K415
I want a formula in column M starting at M9 whereby cell M9 sums up the total number of eggs for the week (i.e. sum of K9:K15), then I want to copy that formula down, such that M10 shows the sum total of eggs for the next week (which is sum of K16:K22) and so on. Thus summing up every 7 rows of data in column M.
I have been playing with the SUM and OFFSET functions but can't quite nail it.
The series 1,3,6,10,15,21,28,36 ("A" series) is the ongoing sum of 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8 ("integers") and naturally goes on for as long as on chooses. I am only interested in the numbers up to 100.
Is there an Excel function that will allow me choose any integer as a starting point and any higher integer as an ending point and provide the sum of the "A" series associated with the two choices.
For example: If I begin at 6 and end on 12 it would give me 308 =28+36+45+55+66+78

I have a list of 100 songs and the artists that sing each song.
What I want is a formula that will look at the rank that it finishes with and assign it a different number (e.g. the song that finished at number 1, has a value of 100).
As there can be multiple songs by the one artist, I need to add them ALL up and have a total score for each singer/band.
e.g.
1 Powderfinger - My Happiness (100 points)
2 U2 - Beautiful Day (99 points)
3 Powderfinger - My kind of scene (98 points)
4 Wheatus - Teenage Dirtbag (97 points)
5 Coldplay - Yellow (96 points)
So Powderfinger would have 198 points and the other 3 would have 99, 97 and 96.
The band names are in one column and the song names are in the next column.
I would need to get this next thing working:
H I J K L M N O P
Type No. No.Points Points/RN Points/KR Points/KV Points/ER R/V Total
5 KV 12 4 2 3 4 6 0 8
6 RN 90 18 3 4 5 8 0 26
7 KV 12 4 4 4 5 6 10 13
8 ER
9 KV
10 KR
...and so on, with the following logic
If Type = KV, then P$ = sum(J$,M$,O$), but if it is something else, like RN, then it needs to sum J$,K$,O$
I've tried using the following:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("KV";H2));SUM(J2+M2+O2);0;IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("ER";H2));SUM(J2+N2+O2));
but only the two first ifs work, which is kind of logical, since the second if is the "value if false" statement. Is there any way to get this to work?

How can I use a macro on a button in SHEET 1 to generate random numbers on SHEET 2 as follows?
Cell A1: (1-10)
Cell A2: (1-6)
Cell A3: (1-100)
Cell A4: (1-12)
I've got it working with formulas, but every time I press "DELETE" the random numbers jump to new values.
I have had some difficulty searching this on the web, but how would I generate a random number between 1 and n?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet which has data in rows. I need to sum the first 5 values from the left of the range which are greater than zero. BUT if there are less than 5 non zero values present I want to sum from the right of the range.
First condition:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
The function would return: 1+2+3+4+5 = 15
Second condition:

Function would return: 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 = 30
Third condition:
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8 9 10

I would also like to avoid ctrl-shift-enter functions if I can as I don't have much success copying them around the spreadsheet.
I have an unusual situation which is best explained by way of an attached example.
In summary adding and subtracting four cells containing integer values outputs an unexpected non-integer value, which should in fact be zero.
The situation is best explained by way of example which I attach to this post : Excel Problem.xlsx
Basically, Cell E1 should be zero.
I added an attachment. Column A is my "week number" and column E is my sales amount.
I'm trying to create a formula that sums the sales amount, only if it corresponds to a certain week number. I know sumif formulas, but can't get them to work well for this. For example, I want it to sum all the sale that happened in week one, then all the ones in week 2, then all the ones in week 3, and so on. There has to be an easier way than doing a sumif for each individual week and manually changing the week number in the sum if formula.
Could there be a character you can use in a formula to make the sumif week number "running?" So you could then just type in the formula once and pull it all the way down for the year, so the formula will work for the every week throughout the year?
Column A: Start Date
Column B: End Date
Column C: Ethnicity Code (letter and number such as B1)
Column D: Hours
What I need to do is work out how many hours each ethnic group did in a specific month.

I am trying to work out VBA code or another way in Excel to find a solution for this problem - I need to be able to sum up the values that I have posted below - so for SUM(Paint,Argentina), this would be the sum of the red paint, blue paint and green paint values under the Argentina heading, that are all categorised into the 'Paint' group. The same follows for all the other categories. I was trying to use 'Defined Names' to group the categories together, and so would then do =Sum(Paint). However this was not allowing me to sum by each country, and the 'Create from Selection' naming tool was not naming all of the values for Paint (blue paint, red paint, etc.) under the paint category.
This is an incredibly simplified version of the data I am actually dealing with - I am doing this for 70 country columns and 250 rows of product categories.
I have cell A1:A25. each with a number, and the same text "Hour(s)" So cell A1 would be 24 Hour(s) and so forth down to cell A25.
Due to the sheet being large, I can't just insert another column to list the text. I need for cell A26 to sum the numbers ignoring the test in the cells. I searched to forum, but didn't exactly find anything that works correct.
I do my indoor cricket team stats and I am having some trouble figuring out what formula to use in order to be able to sum a row of numbers where some cells may contain text and numbers or just text.
Please see the attached spreadsheet to understand what I'm talking about.
In the batting tab, when the batter gets out, they lose 5 runs. Outs are noted by St, R, B or C. In terms of runs, the scorers put wides and noballs to the batter on strike which are noted by W or N and this is worth 2 runs. Sometimes the batter on strike will get runs off a W or N so it's noted down as W+2 (which would give 4 runs) etc. So what I need to be able to do in the batting sheet is sum the total runs and count the number of outs.
In the bowling sheet, it's the same story as the batting tab, but I also need to be able to sum the number of extras given and count the number of wickets taken.

I have build a system that needs a lot of random numbers generated to work.
I have used what I thought would work to generate me these numbers like this example:
VB:
Lastrow = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("RPlay").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
RPlayerNum = Int((Lastrow - 2 + 1) * Rnd + 2)
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 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

Or, they 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)
Is that possible with excel 2007?
I want to set up a column of numbers that will be random without any repeating numbers.
Example: If I set up for 1,000 rows, I would like the random numbers to be 1 to 1,000, but the catch would be to have no duplicates in the column.
It has been several years since I worked with Excel and I am sure this can be done with a macro, but I am not sure how to go about it right now.
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.
