    Smile Restaurant list

    Hi,

    i started building a list of places i like to go for lunch. I feel though im always going to the same place. So i was wondering if there was a way that excel could suggest me where to go, either randomly, or with some weights on each restaurents. ie lets say i really like burger king, i would assign it a value of 7/10, and mc donalds 4/10, so BK would come up more often than McD

    thank you Sebastien

    Re: Restaurent list

    Is that how Directed Advertising works?

    Find a person in Montreal, Canada who can't spell restaurant and who, 3 years ago, preferred eating at Burger King over McDonalds (so presumably a beef eater), and provide restaurant choices offering "fine dining" located in Delhi, India.

    Seems a little off-target.

    EDIT: Now that the title has been changed from "Restaurent List" to "Restaurant List" the "who can't spell restaurant" makes no sense!
