General information for the business: Horse racing analysis
Description of excel work: I need a bespoke spreadsheet to produce random permutations/combinations based on the following criteria
There are 36 individual horses divided into 5 separate groups:
Group A contains 4 horses (A1 to A4)
Group B contains 8 horses (B1 to B8)
Group C contains 4 horses (C1 to C4)
Group D contains 12 horses (D1 to D12)
Group E contains 8 horses (E1 to E8)
I need to produce a set of different, random combinations of 10 horses comprising any:
2 horses from Group A
2 horses from Group B
1 horse from Group C
3 horses from Group D
2 Horses From Group E
Overall I want to produce approx. 400 different combinations of 10 horses.
I will ascribe an 'importance' value to each individual horse by a simple percentage figure. For example in Group A:
A1 - 60%
A2 - 60%
A3 - 50%
A4 - 30%
So, in this case, Horse A1 appears in 60% of all possible combinations and so on. Note that the percentages add up to 200% in this case so that there will always be 2 horses from Group A per combination. Percentages will be applied to the other groups in the same way.
In summary, the fixed 'variables' are:
36 horses overall
5 groups of horses split up as above
Combinations to include specific number of horses from each group, as above
The variable variables are:
Percentage 'importance' value - these should manually inputted by the end user
Overall number of combinations (will never be more than 800) - to be decided by the end user.
Extra notes: I am happy to clarify requirements. I think this may be fairly straightforward for an excel expert but it is beyond me!
I would also like a facility that automatically generates the frequency each horse appears with another. E.g. A1 appears with A2 5 % of the time, with B4 3% of the time etc..
