[@LeilaGharani]

Thank you! I appreciate that!

[@serdalkaptan]

Wonderful info, Leila. I was scratching walls to create vba or macro in order to refresh the numbers, but your F9 method which I just tried on my random number generator works perfectly! It made my life a lot easier, and besides you teach a lot of some other important excel tricks. Thank you very much . . . .

[@LeilaGharani]

Glad it was helpful!

[@narendralimbu2937]

I learned a lot about rand function. I love you.

[@JimFikes]

You are the greatest, Leila. I had not thought of using unique with randarray yet.

[@calevenice]

You are the reason why I don't rank my Excel skills as a 10 out of 10. Thank you 🙂

I'm making my own Number Sense practice sheets, and the Google searches I've seen explain these functions so poorly; this video was a lifesaver

[@houstonsaft]

Great one again, Leila!

[@yassirkhalid5376]

Good job Liela, good job 👌🏽 Never regret watching your videos, the topic seems familiar to me, all functions you mentioned are well known to me and I'm using them frequently, but yet I opened the video! Not surprisingly, I found something new and interesting too! Looking forward to that one day for me opening your videos and learn nothing, I guess I will spend a lot of time until then!

[@LeilaGharani]

Happy to hear you found something new!

[@Ryuzaki2100]

Hi Leila, honestly, I never knew about how powerful Excel is and your channel helped me realized that. I have one question tho, I have to ask the professional. How did you create that animation at 0:23?

[@LeilaGharani]

That's prepared with Premier Pro and After Effects.

[@DougHExcel]

Thanks for the "random" video full of neat surprises!

[@hardhik28]

Cute technique. Thanks for sharing ☺️

[@MrBradleykeith]

Nice to see that I am not the only one who is still learning, I would love for you to do a "simple😂😂" googlemaps type route/distance calculator between two business locations. Love your channel.

[@pallavshresthasingh2936]

You are awesome. You have really helped me a lot I am impressed how these small changes can now help me with my data

[@LeilaGharani]

Great to hear!

[@nonoobott8602]

Great tutorial as always. Thanks for sharing

[@kolavithonduraski5031]

we have now google sheets and the excel web app. a comparison would be fine... maybe in more than just one vid. there is surely something google sheets can, and excel can't... and ofc vice versa. that would be a cool topic, if you are searching for some future topics 😁👍 thank's anyway for your work

[@inna6141]

Cool, Leila!!! Thanks! That was one I needed 😀👍👍👍

[@dipayandebnath6136]

Thank you so much 💓

[@vijayarjunwadkar]

Hmmm, just when I think I know enough of a feature in Excel, Leila ensures that I don't and what a boon it is really! Thanks again Leila for showing what is possible with random numbers! Nice video! 😊👍

Glad you found something new, Vijay!

Just what I was looking for…perfect timing thank you so much.

[@darylseaton6493]

Thank you so very much. This was a great video!!!

[@LeilaGharani]

Glad you enjoyed it, Daryl!

[@Grumpy_Granddad]

Great as Always --- as a part time Bingo caller I can see my spreadheet random number generator changing in the near future

[@noguerar2661]

Rand() function works randomising values from a uniform distribution. But what about getting random numbers from another kind of distribution - normal, Poisson, etc?

[@richprince2818]

I have Office 365 and noticed that random number generator, which I created years ago, no longer recalculates when I depress F9. Through some experimenting on the keyboard, that the Function key + F9 now recalculates my 60 fields for random numbers. Just and FYI. Thanks for your videos.

[@prabhakarrao4922]

Thanks excellent tutorial

[@LeilaGharani]

Glad you liked it.

[@parvathyvnair]

Cool! That'll definitely be helpful! 😃

[@jodavila16]

Nice Video!!

[@fathollahkhoshbakhti6264]

Thank you for your perfect explanation, in case I need to select the value randomly but just for many specific values I would specify them taking the percentage of repeated values that I will define, into account, what can I do? thank you

[@ravikishorergajavalli]

We can get random number by using data analysis tool in excel. Add data analysis tool by add ins, then select random number generator - select uniform - give min and Max number to get data in Excel

[@wisdom_uboh]

VERY NICE 👍👍

[@mohdzia8509]

Leila- I have a list of 10 companies and each company has 5 or more contacts. I wish to assign the same number to the first contact of each company. For example- Assign #1 to the first contact of each company. Assign #2 to the second contact of each company. So on and so forth for the rest of contacts

[@wurianda]

thank you so much

[@duncanwil]

I know it is not so interesting but that UNIQUE(RANDARRAY(...)) problem does not seem to occur when we create a horizontal rather than a vertical array of random numbers. Of course, I could be wrong but I have simulated a horizontal array hundreds of times and have yet to see a #SPILL! error. whereas a vertical array of numbers generates the error very frequently However, you can also contrast =UNIQUE(RANDARRAY(10,,10,20,1)) with =UNIQUE(RANDARRAY(50,,10,20,1)) by way of a possible solution to the problem ... although I appreciate your SORTBY(... and other solutions to this problem are more foolproof!

[@ChristoHuman]

Hi Leila, Thank you for the video. I've created a times table sheet for my daughter. It includes so much like a timer, score keeping, auto calculations etc etc etc.... and put in a lot of effort to write the macros. But now I'm stuck. I would like to randomize some of the cells without repeats and this is all possible in your video. But what can I do to prevent the randomized cells from changing when typing in other cells. I only want the random numbers to change if she press F9. Is it possible? So basically, I want her to press F9 (Refresh), complete the times table. Once done she only needs to refresh again for a "different" times table. As it is completely automated with the press of one button I don't want to COPY and PASTE SPECIAL VALUES. Your input will be greatly appreciated! Christo (South Africa) ----- EDIT------ I was able to achieve this to change the Calculations Options to Manual, and Creating a "Reset Macro". But your video helped a lot in my quest to randomize the numbers and to reset to a new and different question sheet with a press of a button),

[@rafatali6058]

Fantastic tric Thank you so much Mam God bless you with your fmly

[@shubhampawar8506]

Superb 👌

[@Phi1l]

Hi Leila, if you need to create random numbers daily/weekly, is there a way to ensure they don't repeat over time?

[@righttoknow8196]

Hi mam Your all lessons are amazing. I have a question that is 10000 is my total sale. I want to convert this value into 15 days but without repeating. Pls suggest which formula will apply.

[@sulekhagagrai7292]

Thank you mam..

[@christianwillumsen1639]

Good video :) Any nice tips for random names as well ?

[@TazKhan70]

Hi Leila, I am using a combination of CHAR and RANDBETWEEN functions to generate a random password of 10 character starting with Capital and a mixture of Alphanumeric and special characters but whenever the spreadsheet refreshes it changes the values and I like to keep the values. =CHAR(RANDBETWEEN(65,90))&CHAR(RANDBETWEEN(97,122))&CHAR(RANDBETWEEN(35,38))&RANDBETWEEN(10,99)&CHAR(RANDBETWEEN(60,63))&CHAR(RANDBETWEEN(97,122))&RANDBETWEEN(101,989)

Do you have plans to do a Power Automate Desktop course?

[@Esakkiappan85]

Awesome 👍

[@mpo3565]

This is great, how can do I a random sequence for say 24 rows but within those rows are random numbers from 1 to 36 ?

[@NonaPrince]

Can I use Randbetween with unique to get non repetitive numbers?

[@SatPal.18]

Thankyou. How do I freeze those randomly created numbers so that they don't change ever?

[@maheshmahee2782]

Hi Leila..Please explain how to write Macros for csv formatted files.. Thank you.

[@andreastjahjadi6503]

Leila, your video is amazing. Thanks so much. Can you explain how to make a sort number by group of columns (example: by area)

[@RichVideo5493]

Hello Can you show us how to do the same thing but with a Excel attachment?

[@elnurganbarov6502]

you are amazing

[@CalicoCooperFan]

Can you do a video on best practices for storing important emails outside of outlook? The company i work for rolls emails off after 90 days. Projects I work on can last all year and email has lots of history in it related to projects that I sometimes need to reference....like proof of project decisions made. How do you extract important emails? What are best practices for organizing and storing them so I can find them long after that 90 day retention threshold is hit. Thanks.

[@rajaramkumar2790]

It much helpfull

[@sjn7220]

Great for Monte Carlo simulations.

[@divyangpastagiya5505]

Interesting & well explained !! Can you share how to put random dates ?

[@magnushultgrenhtc]

Dates are numbers. For clarity, you can set a lower and upper limit in separate cells and refer to those cells. Just remember to format the outcome as a date.

[@somyajain3806]

Mam I don't understand why hash spill error come but other concepts were crystal clear

Hi Leila, This is a great tool but my version of Excel does not have the "=unique(randarray", "=rand(array) or "=sequence" functions. is there another way to use those functions? Thanks so much
