VBA module/function to generate random numbers with specified mean and SD
Thanks to you all.
"Robert Reid" wrote in message ... Thanks for the response Mike, I'm not sure how I would use the excel function to generate 20 numbers that have a prespecified SD and mean using VBA. Can you clarify. "Mike Middleton" wrote in message ... Robert Reid - =NORMINV(RAND(),mean,stdev) Caveat: Both NormInv and Rand may return numerically inaccurate results in pre-2003 Excel. - Mike www.mikemiddleton.com "Robert Reid" wrote in message ... Hi all, As basis for a school assignment I need to generate 20 random numbers that have a prespecified mean and standard deviation ( I don't believe they have to be normally distrubted). Can anyone help? The output would preferably be to Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A20") though an array would also work. Thanks. |
