I'm trying to figure out away that I can randomly pick an item from a range
and have the random function be weighted. So lets say in cell A1 = apples, B1 = bananas, C1 = pears and D1 = oranges. In the cells below them are there chances, the higher the %, the better the chance it will be selected. So for instance, A2 = 30%, B2 = 20%, C2 = 40% and D2 = 10%. So, C2 has the best chance at being randomly selected. Anyone have any ideas on how to accomplish this? I really do not know where to even begin. So, any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. |
