Hi all,

HYCH

I am using the code below to run a randomsier, but i would like to
randomly generate numbers from 1 to 128 and put them into cells in
column B ie

1st number generated into b1, 2nd number would then go into b2, 3rd
into b3 and so on, any help with the code for this, if it is possible

Random code using just to show a random number.


Sub RandomNo()
Randomize
MyNumber = Int((128 - 1 + 1) * Rnd + 1)

MsgBox ("Number Generated ") & (MyNumber)
Range("H8").Select
End Sub

If you just want random numbers between 1 and 128 use
RANDBETWEEN(1,128) If you want 128 unique random numbers, put
1:128 in col 1, =Rand() in col 2 and sort on col 2 as one
solution.

Thanks, managed to get this to work for what i am looking for, but not
able to stop it generating numbers of the same value, anything i can
do with the code below to affect this outcome

HYCH

Sub RandomNo()
Dim Counter As Long
Dim NumRows As Long, NumCols As Integer
Dim r As Long, c As Integer
Dim Total As Long


Range("a1:a129").Clear
Counter = 0
NumRows = 128
NumCols = 1
Total = NumRows * NumCols
For r = 1 To NumRows
For c = 1 To NumCols
Counter = Counter + 1
Cells(r, c) = Int(Rnd() * 128)
Next c
Next r
End Sub

I think your code suffers from the same problem as RANDBETWEEN
(and RAND too!) I don't have a VBA version of my second method
but I think it shouldn't be too hard to program.

Sub RandomNo()
Dim Counter As Long
Dim NumRows As Long, NumCols As Integer
Dim r As Long, c As Integer
Dim Total As Long


Range("a1:a129").Clear
Counter = 0
NumRows = 128
NumCols = 1
Total = NumRows * NumCols
For r = 1 To NumRows
For c = 1 To NumCols
Counter = Counter + 1
Cells(r, c) = Int(Rnd() * 128)
Next c
Next r
End Sub
