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.

I just wanted to share how FABULOUS [Geoff] is and you should keep him for sure! I have had the best service and training from him in the last few days that it has sold me on keeping AccuZIP @ my new job. I was new to this software and learning in “trial by fire” mode and he got me thru it without any burns! He is amazing and deserves a raise, bonus, employee of year- SOMETHING BIG. I have dealt with the mail industry for about 30 years and never received this level of support and so positive. I am forever grateful and will suggest him and this product if asked. I am being very serious about his knowledge, skill, and interpersonal skill(hard to find these days).
