=rand() word

Excel has two very useful functions when it comes to generating random numbers. RAND and RANDBETWEEN.

RAND

The RAND function generates a random decimal number between 0 and 1.

1.

Select cell A1.

2. Type =RAND() and press Enter. The RAND function takes no arguments.

3. To generate a list of random numbers, select cell A1, click on the lower right corner of cell A1 and drag it down.

Note that cell A1 has changed.

That is because random numbers change every time a cell on the sheet is calculated.

4.

If you want random numbers that remain constant once generated, simply copy the random numbers and paste them as values.

5. Select cell C1 and look at the formula bar. This cell holds a value now and not the RAND function.

RANDBETWEEN

The RANDBETWEEN function generates a random whole number between two boundaries.

1.

Select cell A1.

2. Type =RANDBETWEEN(50,75) and press Enter.

3. If you want to generate random decimal numbers between 50 and 75, modify the RAND function as follows:

RANDARRAY
