Default check for value between 101 & 110 same value can't be repeated

Bob,

The requirement is generate (randomly) up 7 values between 101 - 110 in a
row. No value can be repeated in the row.

Therefo 101 109 109 110 104 101 103 : is not working for me as you can
see in this row 2 values were repeated.

The formula would then be used to generate values between the same criteria
in following rows : up to 100 rows where repeated values from the row above
would be ok.

Hope this helps - and thanks again Bob for offering your experience and
knowledge.

John

I am not understanding. IN your original post you said that you would have
one number between 101 and 110, and you want another that was not equal to.

Where do the 7 numbers in a line now come into it? What exactly is the
requirement?

Darn,
I got a little ahead of myself.
While the formulae do work, there's a 'glitch' of sorts in that on each
line
(consists of up to 7 numbers) there is atleast one number that is
repeated -
see below.
101 109 109 110 104 101 103

Here's the formula Bob provided
=IF(($A$1="")+(AND(B20,COUNTIF($B$1:$B2,B2)=1)),B 2,INT(RANDBETWEEN(101,110)))

Thanks again

John

First, ensure cell A1 is empty and goto ToolsOptions and on the
Calculation
tab check the Iteration checkbox to stop the Circular Reference message.

Next, type this formula into cell B1
=IF(($A$1="")+(AND(B20,COUNTIF($B$1:$B2,B2)=1)),B 2,INT(RANDBETWEEN(101,110)))
it should show a 0.

Finally, put some value in A1, say an 'x', and all the random numbers
will
be generated, and they won't change.

To force a re-calculation, clear cell A1, edit cell B2, don't change it,
just edit to reset to 0, and re-input A1.

:. if a1 equals number between 101 - 110 then a2 can not equal same
value -
value is determined by "RANDBETWEEN"
