Predicting my future: Roll of dice

Is it possible to predict how your life is going to turn out based on random numbers. Well since I can’t anyway find my life predictable,

let me see how this works.

1• Used excel to generate the random numbers

between 1-6– Used the built in RANDBETWEEN(x,y) function where

x and y are1 and 6• Inserted a column to left for date..

– Generated series for a year. 366 days including today• Replaced the random formulae in column B by

values.. Using paste special– This is because any change in the sheet was

regenerating the random numbers. This could have been a problem when I did further analysis

2• Inserted a column on the left for month.

– Should help me show how a month is going to go• Added the column to show a qualitative value of how the

day would go– 0-2 bad, 3-4 average, 5-6 good

• Added the cumulative column– This should let me draw the line graph showing how it is going

to be in the next year– Now the problem is that with a cumulative score, the graph can

go nowhere except northwards.. Not satisfactory• Added the second Logical cumulative column

– A day which was not better than the previous adds a negative effect to the total cumulative score

This is how the cumulative graph will look like..

• Made a pivot table to filter out how each month would go..– For each month a pie chart shows the breakup of

bad average and good days• Derived a table (trend worksheet) to see the

breakup– Gave weightage to each type (9good, 3average

and (-)3Bad)– Added a line graph to see the trend of how the

months are going to be
