If in doubt, record a macro and inspect the entrails!

 

 

Please read the DISCLAIMER.

Here is an INDEX to all the procedures.

You will probably need one copy of my GLOBAL DECLARATIONS.



Public Function boolSkip(m As Long, n As Long, boolRand As Boolean)
' Procedure :   boolSkip
' Description:  Return TRUE if we should skip this time.
' Copyright: Chris Greaves Inc.
' Inputs:       Long sample size
'               Long universe size
'               Boolean "random sampling or not".
' Returns:      Boolean tru if we should skip this entry.
' Assumes:      Nothing
' Side Effects: None.
' Tested:       By the calls shown below.
' Return TRUE if we should skip this time.
' User has opted to use m out of every n entries.
' User may have opted to choose at random.
' Useful for sampling files from a list of files.
Static lngRecords As Long
If boolRand Then
    If Rnd <= m / n Then
        boolSkip = False
    Else
        boolSkip = True
    End If

    If lngRecords >= m Then
        boolSkip = True
    Else
        boolSkip = False
    End If
    lngRecords = lngRecords + 1
    If lngRecords >= n Then
        lngRecords = 0
    End If
End If
'Sub TESTboolSkip()

'    MsgBox boolSkip(1, 5, False)
'Next inti
'MsgBox "start of random sampling"
'For inti = 1 To 6
'MsgBox boolSkip(1, 5, True)

End Function
