    Re: Formulas : #VALUE error with VLOOKUP


    I have the same problem. ;P I was trying to reference a range name in a closed workbook. As long as I open the workbook with the referenced data, the formula works but throws #VALUE! error when referenced workbook is closed. So far I've only noticed this problem when I use the =COUNTIF(*,*) function. -roadmax

    Re: random numbers


    This is *possibly* a simpler way...


    In cells A1:A20 on Sheet2 put the formula;


    =RAND()


    In cell A1 on Sheet1 put this formula;


    =RANK(Sheet2!A1,Sheet2!$A$1:$A$20)


    Then copy cell A1 on Sheet1 thru to cell A20 on Sheet1.


    Good Luck!

    Is there a way to have Excel pick a list of random numbers without picking the same number twice? I am probably the *most* basic user of Excel so I would not be able to use any advance features like VBA but I can certainly handle formulas. Thank you! -roadmax
