I need to randomly pick individual and repeated entries from a list that has 3 separate integers, whose sum must equal separate particular values.
I've worked a bit with VBA before, but this is stumping me. I have seen examples with how to use Solver for a single row, but have not figured out how to get it to process stage by stage.
DATA: (stored on an invisible tab)
name Col A Col B Col C
-----------------------------------
Red 2 3 4
Yellow 2 4 5
Blue 3 1 2
Green 1 1 1
Purple 1 4 1
Orange 0 2 5
Black 4 4 4
White 1 1 1
Brown 3 3 3
Pink 0 1 0
Blaze Orange 0 0 0
Ultraviolet 1 0 0
Crystal 5 1 0
I'm trying to find Random combination of items that whose sums equal the respective target result values for each column. (selected by preset dropdowns)
Say for example, I'd want Column A to equal 10, Column B to equal 12, and Column C to equal 8.
The output might look like this.
Green 1 1 1
Purple 1 4 1
Purple 1 4 1
Crystal 5 1 0
Orange 0 2 5
Ultraviolet 1 0 0
Ultraviolet 1 0 0
-------------------------
SUM 10 12 8
I'd guess that the results should be random each time, if it's a random search for the answer. The solver would likely work for this, but it'd have to be a nest of conditionals.
Something like:
:START
Calc Column A. If random sampled solution across Column A = desiredA,
then Record names of A, then Calculate Col B.
If Col B = desiredB, then Record names of B, then Calculate Column C.
If Col C = desired C, then Record names of C, Print
Value1:Value2:Value3.
If no solution found, goto START.
Any tips would be appreciated, thank you. Apologies for the code block abuse. It makes the formatting more consistent.
