Picture this…

You’re settling down for a game of monopoly… everyone is ready around the board… you’ve exchanged banter and already started to forge alliances… and you realise you don’t have any dice! Somewhere along the last 20 years that you owned the board, the dice got separated from it, eaten by the dog maybe, who knows.

So what now?

Use Excel.

Here it is, your dice-rolling spreadsheet. Just select from the dropdown how many dice you want to roll (up to 6 at a time) and press the button (make sure you have macros enabled first).

Roll the Dice

If you’re learning VBA, this is a relatively short piece of code for you to investigate. See if you can understand how it works, and think whether you would do it the same way. If not, let me know what your approach would be!

UPDATE!:

We took some good advice and changed our VBA to avoid selecting cells. It simplifies things and with a larger file is more efficient – basically it’s the better approach. Also, if you turn your volume on that it now reads you the numbers as they come up and tells you the total at the end. And another thing, it has a Roll again? dialogue box at the end.
