I'm very fluent with VB / VBA however having some difficulty with the
statistics/logic. I'm hoping someone here can point me in a direction to solve the following... I'm developing a model in excel to run simulations against. One aspect involves randomly identifying ranges of days/dates within a 365 day calendar year. Example: Name Days Vacation ========= =========== Employee 1 14 Employee 2 28 Employee 3 21 Based on the above I'm trying to generate a yearly work schedule that identifies/applies random vacation days in the amounts specified in the list. Ideally I'd like some way of weighting the randomization to better reflect how vacation is taken (eg, in a 2 week block with an occasional day here and there, rather than completely random.) Using the data above as an example, I can easily create a list of 14 random yearly dates for Employee 1. The challenge I'm having creating logic to randomize into blocks of days (eg, 5 consecutive days, 1 day, 1 day, 5 consecutive days, 3 consecutive days) If anyone has any ideas/insight into the logic required I'd appreciate hearing from you. Thanks in advance. - Michael |
