Hi Guys,
I have this inventory table (above) with 5 different columns of items. What I need is a way to generate a random configuration using VBA. This means that I need 1 computer, 1 printer, 1 camera, 1 scanner and 1 USB chosen from each column and then placed on another sheet. Is there a way to do this? Any help would be much appreciated.

-Matt

Hi Matt,
Welcome to VBAX
This should give you 50 random selections
[vba]
Sub Randoms()
Dim Sel As Long, i As Long, Cnt As Long, Rw As Long
For Sel = 1 To 50
Randomize
For i = 1 To 5
Cnt = Sheets(1).Cells(Rows.Count, i).End(xlUp).Row
Rw = Int(Rnd() * Cnt) + 1
Sheets(2).Cells(Rows.Count, i).End(xlUp).Offset(1) = Sheets(1).Cells(Rw, i)
Next
Next Sel
End Sub

[/vba]
BTW If you need to post a spreadsheet, use Manage Attachments in the Go Advanced section
