A website visitor asked this
question:
I need to develop a formula for the following: Develop a column
of 10 consecutive numbers between 10k and 30k. These numbers have to be
whole, divisible by 3 but without the digit 7.
We solved the problem in the following manner:
First we generate the 10 numbers using the randbetween()
function
The numbers can now be copied, their 'values' pasted to
another location and they cal also be sorted from smallest to largest
to give you the 10 consecutive
numbers. This part is easy and is not discussed in the training video
Next we find out whetther the generated numbers contain 7
by using a modified version of the find() function so that it displays
'false' and 'true' as result which can be used in the final formula
Finding whether the generated numbers are divisible
by 3 is done using the mod() function.
In the end we use a 'IF' function combined with 'AND'
because we need to make sure that the number that is displayed is
divisible by 3 and
does not contain the digi 7.
