    No repeat of last ten numbers (Randbetween())

    I am looking to build a workbook that uses the randbetween function to randomly choose numbers but does not select numbers that were selected in the previous 15 randbetween cells. How would I do this? I have come down to the conclusion that this can only be solved with VBA, which I am still a noobie in.

    This is the structure of the workbook.

    Column A (1000 rows): Randbetween(1,100)
    Column B (985 rows, starts 15 rows down): Randbetween(1,100) but rerun the randbetween(1,100) if initial number provided was selected in previous 15 rows. I want to have 15 columns of this in which now it accounts for the previous 15 rows and each prior column.

    responding to the title of your thread, here's a code for producing non-repeating random groups of 10

    put it in a code module and run it on a blank worksheet to see what it does

    perhaps you can adapt it to the desired structure of your workbook

    Kalak, thanks for the reply. I actually figured out a way to make it work without VBA although it was very tedious (6 tabs and match functions). I will give this code a shot sometime when my coding knowledge is up to par.
