Hi!
Hi
I would like to use Data Multiple Operations to generate repeated random samples. I have a function in cell $B$21 which is a function of two random samples (calls to rand() in other cells). I highlight cells D30:E33 and invoke Data Multiple Operations. I specify cell $B$21 as the formulae, and cell $K$1 as the column input cell. I put 1, 2, 3, and 4 in cells D30:D33.
My expectation is that this will generate different results in cells E30:E33, but it does not. This expectation is a) because that is how a one dimensional data table works in excel, and b because if I enter 1 into K1 the value does change, and if I enter 2 into K1 the value changes again, . . .
Interestingly, if I put =rand() into cell $B$21, each value in $E$30:$E$33 is different.
Can someone please explain if there is a way to do what I want, and also, the logic behind the way that data multiple operations works?
Thanks . . .
