randomisation help??

[lollqt]

Im currently trying to make a deal or no deal with 26 unique amounts. Here ive added the loopings to try and make all the values unique, but when i debug the program, it seems to be stuck on the first loop but doesnt return any errors...
any help please?

Dim Amount() As String 'declaring the amounts
        Amount = Split("0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 250, 500, 750, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 10000, 15000, 20000, 30000, 50000, 75000, 100000, 200000")
        
Randomize() 'randomizing values
        Dim x As Integer 'x randomised number
        x = Int(Rnd() * 26)
        Amount1 = Amount(x)
        Do
            Randomize(x = Int(Rnd() * 26))
            Amount2 = Amount(x)
        Loop While Amount2 = Amount1 'loops the randomizer to eliminate any repeats!
        Do
            x = Int(Rnd() * 26)
            Amount3 = Amount(x)
        Loop While Amount3 = Amount1 Or Amount2
        Do
            x = Int(Rnd() * 26)

I dont know what exactly is this code for, but from your description I can tell you one thing: Amount2 IS NEVER EQUAL TO Amout1.
Thats why it never leaves the while loop.

Double check why those two variables are never equal.

A better way to generate non-repeating random sequences (for example, dealing cards from a deck) is to start with your array, Amount, then generate a random integer from 0 to last (where last is initially set to Ubound(Amount). When you generate your first random index (let's call it rind), adjust your Amount array as follows:

Amount(rind) = Amount(last)
last -= 1

That guarantees that you never get the same "amount" twice.
