I have following code and it does half the trick

when cell N2 = "divide" the randum number shuld only be dividable with cell value J2
When cell N2 is not "divide" the code should stay as it is

Code:
Public Sub generateRandNum1()
    'Define your variabiles
    Dim lgetal As String
    Dim hgetal As String
    lgetal = Worksheets("Blad 2").Range("f2").Value
    hgetal = Worksheets("Blad 2").Range("h2").Value
    lowerbound = lgetal
    upperbound = hgetal
    Set randomrange = Range("B9:B13")
    
    randomrange.Clear
    For Each rng1 In randomrange
        counter = counter + 1
    Next
    
    If counter > upperbound - lowerbound + 1 Then
        MsgBox ("Number of cells > number of unique random numbers")
        Exit Sub
    End If
    
    For Each Rng In randomrange
        randnum = Int((upperbound - lowerbound + 1) * Rnd + lowerbound)
        Do While Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(randomrange, randnum) >= 1
            randnum = Int((upperbound - lowerbound + 1) * Rnd + lowerbound)
        Loop
        Rng.Value = randnum
    Next
End Sub

Back into an answer in Excel
Use Data, What-If Analysis, Goal Seek to find the correct input cell value to reach a desired result
At the start define a ne variable I_multiplier

Set it to 1 or J2 depending on the value of N2


Then replace Rng.Value = randum with



Rng.Value = randum * I_multiplier

Thank you that almost did the trick

The only problem i have now is that the ouput range isnt unique numbers, there are always numbers double.

I missed that bit in your code ..... I think you need to apply the multiplier to the calculation of randnum instead of when you populate Rng
