Generate a random number of any length

Download and unzip the file linked below directly to your C:\Program Files (x86)\AccuZIP6 5.0 folder.
https://www.accuzip.com/files/forum/genrandom.zip

Import your list, and create a field that you want the number to be stored in using Edit menu>Fields. The field LENGTH determines the highest random number that will be generated. If the field length is 4, then the highest number could be 9999. Character fields are padded with 0, e.g., 0001

Click on Edit>Command, and run this syntax, substituting the word fieldname with the actual field name you created:

=GenRandom("fieldname")


Click Run.

You can then close the command window, and you'll see a random number filling that field, and they will all be 100% unique.

AccuZIP’s Professional Services Team has been a great resource for helping me launch Informed Delivery campaigns for my clients. I am a small direct mail marketing agency specializing in helping my clients find and retain new customers with direct mail. Informed Delivery is the best thing the post office has come up with in my 30+ years in the business. However, just like everything else with the post office, they don't make it easy. AccuZIP has made doing these digital campaigns very simple. I have analyzed campaign results and found the price per click through to the client's website less than an Adword campaign. I am looking forward to working with AccuZIP and their entire Professional Services Team with more clients and campaigns.
