The Excel RAND function
The Excel RAND function will generate a random number in Excel that is greater than or equal to 0 and less than 1.
The syntax for the RAND function is: =RAND( )
To use the RAND( ) function (examples) To generate a random number between 0 and 100, use =RAND() *100 To generate a random number and return only whole numbers use =INT(RAND()*100) To generate a random number between 100 and 200, use =RAND() *(200-100)+100 Note: If you want to use RAND function to generate a random number but don't want the numbers to change every time the cell is calculated, you can enter =RAND() in the formula bar, and then press F9 key to change the formula to a random number.
