If you have 365 I'll attach an example later.

Wyn Hopkins The names are associated with a group of numbers such as name 1 is any number from 1-71 and there are several names with several different numbers values for each name, Which makes this a little harder. I want the second name to take a random number and if it generates the same as the first name it selects another random number to get a different name.
