    Red face Run recalc until a specified vaule is reached.

    the formulas i have are:
    cells a1:e:10 [=int(rand()*(100-1)+1)]

    cell
    a11 "11"
    a12 "37"
    a13 "46"
    a14 "72"
    a15 "95"

    I would like for excel to automaticly update the sheet until cells a11:a15 are found in the rows 1 a:e, or row 2 a:e, etc. Can this be done?

    The probability of randomly meeting your criteria must be billions to one though. If you wrote a macro to do what you want it would take ages to meet the criteria.

    Probability = (0.01^5) * 5 = 2,000,000,000:1 (2 billion to 1)

    Try this:

    It's not very elegant but it works. I wouldn't expect it to find a quick answer though.
