Default Run recalc until a specified vaule is reached.


the formulas i have a
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.
