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 "Bob Phillips" wrote: 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? -- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "Jackanorry" wrote in message ... 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 "Bob Phillips" wrote: 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. -- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "Jackanorry" wrote in message ... :. if a1 equals number between 101 - 110 then a2 can not equal same value - value is determined by "RANDBETWEEN" |
