It sounds like you pasted it under the ThisWorkbook module.

Once you get to the VBE (alt-f11 is nice)
hit ctrl-r (to see the project explorer)
find your project
rightclick on it
Insert|Module

Paste it there.

(look under the ThisWorkbook module and delete it from there if I guessed
right.)

Then back to excel and recalculate.

Thanks very much Dave

Yes I carried out what you described and yes it created Random Numbers.

I still have a Issue and that is when pushing F9 it will not recalculate.

And to Bernd if you get to read this yes I get a double on the same line

Line 1 No 7, Line 4 No 35, Line 6 No 12, Line 8 No 40, and line 10 12

As pasted below.

26 40 17 12 7 7
29 22 24 12 13 31

35 32 15 39 35 3

Think you might also be interested in this program (full details inside):
http://www.savefile.com/files/7565212
File: Randomization_Lotto_program.xls

It fits the bill here ..

The core functionality is driven via
the "RandLotto" UDF by Dave Hawley & JE McGimpsey

Just enter the settings for the game in B6 to D6 in the sheet: Draw,
for example in your case:

From: 1 (in B6)
To: 40 (in C6)
Pick#: 6 (in D6)

Pick# is the number of numbers in a set to be picked for the game.

The settings entered will be used
in the formula in B2: =randlotto(B6,C6,D6)

Then just click the Draw button to generate as many random sets of unique
numbers from within the range defined under "From" and "To" as desired.

Generated sets of numbers will be frozen in col G from G2 down.

One click of the Draw button generates one set.
To reset / clear col G, just click the Reset button.

The RandLotto UDF and the subs Draw and Reset
for the 2 buttons described are listed in the "Notes" sheet

The program's easy to use, and fun, too !

I've never used =UniqRandInt() but I have used J.E. McGimpsey's version:

You may want to take a look (just for curiosity's sake).

Hi Dave and Steved,

I got the idea for my function from JE's older version. He adapted his
algorithm in June similar to mine. What's left is that he could omit the
check whether nCount =1. Then its just a question of personal taste whether
one would like to call a function RandInt() or UniqRandint(), whether one
would like to define the lower and upper border of the numbers or just the
range and whether the "volatility" of the function should be a parameter.

Steved, I hope you could solve your problem?

Regards,
Bernd

Hello Bernd from Steved

I like the i'dea Bernd off your development to VBA
I found this to be quite interesting, I conceed that I'm not a expert in this
field however I will overtime work out a solution using your program,
it is just a matter off I dentifying each row and putting in an argument
to exclude any doubles.

Once again Thankyou.

If I'm not mistaken, you got duplicates on the same line for some lines as
you didn't enter Bernd's UDF as a multi-cell array, re-his advice in his
original response below:

"Bernd Plumhoff" wrote:
then select cells A1:F1 (< this range selection is important)
enter: =UniqRandInt(40, false)
as array formula (CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER)
and copy this down to A10:F10.

Probably you might have "wrongly" array-entered the UDF into a *single*
cell, say A1, copied it across to F1, then filled A1:F1 down to F10. And
that's why you got a few lines with duplicates within the same line.

Try it again by selecting the range A1:F1 first, then
paste into the *formula bar*: =UniqRandInt(40, FALSE)
and array-enter with CSE

The same formula (with curly braces inserted by Excel):
{=UniqRandInt(40, FALSE)}
will appear in every cell within A1:F1
but each cell will return a different number

Then just select A1:F1 and fill down to say, F10, and there shouldn't be any
more duplicates within the same line (for any one line)
