I have to generate five distinct random numbers from 0 to 50 using only formulas and not VBA. How should I do it?
Assuming A1 is blank or a text header you can use this “array formula” in A2
=SMALL(IF(COUNTIF(A$1:A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:51"))-1)=0,ROW(INDIRECT("1:51"))-1),INT(RAND()*(51-ROWS(A$2:A2)+1)+1))confirm with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER so that curly braces like { and } appear around the formula in the formula bar, now copy to A6
That will generate 5 integers from 0 to 50 without repeats
