You save my life
I really appreciate this video.
Outstanding dear Mr. Chester! Best regards from Limón, Costa Rica!
Thank you for your work!!! It have solved my problem
Thanks
It could be useful for anyone prototyping headcount for shifts that have to cover for anticipated crowd sizes. (When I do randomizations like that, I also ad control ranges to enable rapid up/downsizing of test values.)
Or, suppose you want to randomize sales based on weather, temp, a given holiday, popularity of events, and by ice cream flavor.
Or, suppose you want to simulate depletion of inventory. You could randomize numbers of customer purchases, unit counts, dollar amounts, taxes, and more, all to test viability of a biz model in mind for given prices, sizes, and lease durations of real estate.
So, you could potentially wow a lender by showing you've got a well-defined randomized model of break even points. If you deeply build the model, it might make some bankers shut up and lend the money.
(In my case, in 2002, when I randomized numbers in a biz model for a coffee shop plan, 2 bankers tried to avoid returning my biz plan (paper version, but, on my laptop, I showed the digital version. It was in Lotus 1-2-3), but I got back my copies since they refused to fund me because I refused to let them have first place on my home mortgage, which was at 5.95 APR (I'm a veteran), and commercial rates were over 7 to 8.5 %.)
Superb 🎉🎉🎉
But what if I only want integers?
That's pretty clever but how would it be used in business??
How about if the adjusted cells should be in a specified ranged values?
Cheers!
What can I do if I need to find numbers that APPROXIMATELY hit a value. Not exactly
how many lines of 4 numbers sum up to 50,please i need the answer
What if I don't want decimals
I've sent you a message on messenger but no reply I'm hoping to get a reply here thank you in advance. I have 28 golfers in a group and we play every Monday how can I arrange so that each individual player will not play twice during the seven weeks. I was wondering if there was a formula pertaining to this project thanks
hey how about generate without decimal points?
Format as number without decimal
How would the formula look like as number without decimal?
