I like it.As long as he's OK with the limitations.The first entry will be
within the first hour.Subsequent entries will be between 31 minutes and 55
minutes away.
The only problem with this is that it doesn't produce a very even "random"
distribution.The only way any time values will be in the 20:00 to 21:00 range
will be if a significant number of the first 15 values were near the 55 minute
range rather than the 31 minute range.
I wrote a macro to do 100,000 iterations of the data set.Out of 100,000
calculations, there were only 35 sets in which an entry was between 20:00 and
21:00 Paul-----------------------------------------

put this formula in I2 & drag down:
=IF(COUNTIF($B$2:B2,B2)=1,RANDBETWEEN(420,480)/1440,RANDBETWEEN(I1*1440+TIME(0,31,0)*1440,I1*1440+TIME(0,55,0)*1440)/1440)
Cheers!!

I gave this my best shot - but I am not satisfied with it.
PSA.
* What I have are dates between November 15, 2015 to January 16, 2016 * Each
date will have 16 radio "spots".* These spots are to be anywhere between 07:00
to 21:00.
I was able to randomize the time somewhat with the final product in row "H".
However, I see instances where the times between spots are too close for my
liking.
What I need is some sort of random formula that will return a time between
07:00 to 21:00 BUT will never be within 30 minutes of each other.
Anyone ?
Thank you.--
