How to generate a random number within a given range
To generate a random number within a given range use the RANDBETWEEN function.
Syntax
RANDBETWEEN(bottom,top)
Bottom: is the smallest integer RANDBETWEEN will return.
Top: is the largest integer RANDBETWEEN will return.
Examples:
RANDBETWEEN (1,100) will generate numbers from 1 to 100
RANDBETWEEN (-15,2000) will generate numbers from -15 1 to 2000
Notes:
1. A new random integer number is returned every time the worksheet is calculated.
2. In Excel 2007 you can use RANDBETWEEN function directly, however in Excel 2003 (and may be earlier versions also) the function is part of the Analysis ToolPak add-in. If it is not available in your list of functions then you have to install the Analysis ToolPak. Check the following link for more help:
