Generating random number of integers in a specific manner
Hello everyone,
Hope you can help me to the this using MSExcel 2007, (no RANDARRAY() function)
----------
Input cells:
A1 = any positive integer.
B1 = any nonnegative integer (but less than A1).
C1 = any positive integer that is greater than or equal to B1 (but less than A1).
Output cells:
A2, A3, A4, ..., contain the numbers 1, 2, 3, ..., (in order), until we reach the value of A1.
B2, C2, D2, ..., contain distinct random integers satisfying 4 properties:
* the number of columns must be a random integer between B1 and C1 (inclusively),
* each of these random integers must lie between 1 and A1 (inclusively),
* these numbers must be in ascending order,
* and none of these is equal to the value of A2.
Similarity for B3, C3, D3, ...
Similarity for B4, C4, D4, ...
and so on, until we reach to the last row in column A.
----------
Your help would be appreciated. Thanks.
