In this movie, I'll add the customer generation code inside the ticker loop and calculate the arrival time for the next customer as well. My sample file is chapter 04-03, and you can find it in the chapter four folder of the exercise files collection. In this workbook, on the SimSetup worksheet, you'll see that we have the Station data over on the left and the Poisson data for arrival times on the right. You might see a different value in cell K2, which is currently the active cell, and that's just because we're using randomization to create new values. So, don't worry if what you see is different. We won't be making any changes on this worksheet in this movie, so…
