    To Predict 3-digit Numbers using Excel

    Does anyone know how to create a formula or table or anything on how I can set up where I can predict a 3-digit number (daily). Like for example 3 (REAL) Past Numbers, 238, 076, 281, and come up with a predicted New 3-digit Number like for example 693 or whatever. Or anything that I can predict future 3-digit numbers (daily).
    I use Excel 2003, daily for Sports stats, and other things.

    If you can come up with a method to predict the numbers, Excel can probably implement it.

    If the numbers can have repeated digits,

    =RANDBETWEEN(0, 999) and format as 000

    The past 3, 300, or 3,000,000 numbers don't matter.

    Where do I put that formula, and the 3 or more previous 3-digit numbers are listed in like say Column B.

    Not exactly sure what you are looking for. Do you want the predicted number to be based on the frequency of past numbers (either most frequent or least frequent)? or some other criteria? If you're just looking at statistics, then SHG is right, the past numbers don't have any effect on what the next number is going to be.

    If the predicted numbers are to be just random, SHG's formula in 3 different columns will give you 3, 3 digit numbers (from 0 to 999).

    Yes I want to use predicted number to be based on the frequency of past numbers (either most frequent or least frequent) probably both if I can.

    What do you think is the probability of a three-digit random number repeating itself?

    What is the likelihood that a fair coin will toss heads when the last ten tosses have been heads?
