RANDOM HIGHLIGHTER!!

[jay dean]

Range(A5:K1000) contains characters.
The macro should randomly highlight 120 rows (entire rows, that is) in
the above range yellow.

Any help would be much appreciated !

Thanks
Jay Dean

Hi Jay Dean, hth:
------------------------------------------------
Sub RandomColor()

Dim int_ As Integer

Randomize

For j = 1 To 120
int_ = 9995 * Rnd() + 5
Do While Cells(int_, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 6
int_ = int_ + 1
Loop
Rows(int_).Interior.ColorIndex = 6
Next j

End Sub

if you are trying to pull a 120 row sample from the data, insert a new column A

in A5 put in
=rand()
and drag fill down the column. sort on this column and select the first
120 rows.

Thanks to you both Carlo and Tom!
Actually, it looks like my Sample Space will increase so, I needed a
macro.

I therefore, modified Carlo's code a little bit and now it seems to be
working fine. Thanks again!
