In this video I’ll show you how you can easily create sample data in Microsoft Excel. Generating Random data is often needed for testing or if you need to share a file with someone who shouldn’t see your actual data. I’ll cover different methods to create random numbers including a solution that creates random data without repeats.

Thank you for all your great videos they’ve been a great help! Can I ask you a question about another topic? You may have a video on this but I haven’t been able to find it. Let me know if I should post by question here or just send you an email thanks.
These are some interesting functions but a "random" list that requires no repeats is not random. Useful perhaps but not random.
If it's including no repeats then it's not random
Hi Leila. Great tips! One weakness of UNIQUE(RANDARRAY()) is that it might produce say less than the 10 desired numbers, if UNIQUE eliminates one or more duplicates. You can get around this by having RANDARRAY produce more than 10 results (say 20) and then use INDEX and SEQUENCE to output just the first 10. Here is an example: =INDEX(UNIQUE(RANDARRAY(20,,100,1000,1)),SEQUENCE(10)). So, even if UNIQUE eliminates one or two duplicates from the 20, there are still more than 10 for INDEX/SEQUENCE to output which gives you a certain list of 10 results vs. sometimes getting only nine or eight. Of course, it is not perfect.. still subject to #SPILL and you must be sure to build in enough extra results from UNIQUE(RANDARRAY()) to not drop below the desired number of output items. Nevertheless.. another way to get there. As always, thanks for sharing your tips :)) Thumbs up!!
What tests of randomness does this generator pass?
Do you have plans to do a Power Automate Desktop course?
Genius!
You are the greatest, Leila. I had not thought of using unique with randarray yet.
Amazing as always
Great tutorial as always. Thanks for sharing
How you edit your video so nice can you please make a video for that
🌹🌹💜thanks miss
I want to know about tableau
Just use consequence of digits of number π.😁
Rand() function works randomising values from a uniform distribution. But what about getting random numbers from another kind of distribution – normal, Poisson, etc?
We can get random number by using data analysis tool in excel. Add data analysis tool by add ins, then select random number generator – select uniform – give min and Max number to get data in Excel
Leila- I have a list of 10 companies and each company has 5 or more contacts. I wish to assign the same number to the first contact of each company. For example- Assign #1 to the first contact of each company. Assign #2 to the second contact of each company. So on and so forth for the rest of contacts
Interesting & well explained !! Can you share how to put random dates ?
Your tutorials are totally worthwhile. I don't know if I will ever need this, but this video is so memorable that I will recall it if and when the need arises..!
Cute technique. Thanks for sharing ☺️
Thank you Leila. Finally! A useful formula to help me pick the random winning Powerball numbers 😁
Great for Monte Carlo simulations.
Hello sir, I have a problem with a large database in which there are repeated names, but the repetition is partial and does not appear in the normal conditional format. Is there a way to find the partial repetition
Great and sweet…!!!
Hi Leila.. would you suggest for data analysis which is better.. MAC or Windows..
