Generate random sequence based on probability
I have a list of events and the probability that each will happen. Example:
Event A 12% Event B 20% Event C 2% ...and so on. My list is about 20 entries long. What I want to do is to have Excel randomly determine what event will happen in what order, based on the percentage chance that it will happen. So I want 20 cells in another column with the results looking something like this: Event K Event B ...and so on. And be able to recalculate upon refresh. Thanks in advance!! |
