So, I am making a generator to create a fictional character. In column "A" I have their possible races listed, and in "B" the likelyhood that a randomly generated character will be each one.
So the data looks like this Human (35%) Dwarf (30%) Elf (30%) Goblin (5%)
I understand RandomBetweem function, but i want to affect the output. Any help on this is appreciated!
There's probably a few ways to solve this. One way is to make a big fat list of of repeating values for each row that are built from your weights:
=REPT(1,B1*100)&REPT(2,B2*100)&REPT(3,B3*100)&REPT(4,B4*100)
Which makes a list like:
1111111111111111111111111111111111122222222222222222222222222222233333333333333333333333333333344444
Then randomly grab one of those row numbers and select the corresponding value in the "A" column:
=INDIRECT("A"&MID(REPT(1,B1*100)&REPT(2,B2*100)&REPT(3,B3*100)&REPT(4,B4*100),RANDBETWEEN(1,100),1))
I would have to think there is a more elegant way of going about this, but this seems reasonable for a smaller list.
