Usually, suggestions that recommend buying something, are reserved for
situations where XL cannot fulfill the request with resident functionality
and/or capabilities.

Random numbers can be easily attainable in XL in *many* ways, depending upon
the stipulations of the OP.

If gmrobillard would post back, in the *body* of the post, and not just the
subject line, and state exactly what kind of random numbers he's looking to
create, I'm sure that he'll receive adaquate, *free* suggestions, on how to
attain his wishes.

RAND
See Also

Returns an evenly distributed random number greater than or equal to 0 and
less than 1. A new random number is returned every time the worksheet is
calculated.

Syntax

RAND( )

Remarks

To generate a random real number between a and b, use:
RAND()*(b-a)+a

If you want to use RAND 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 to change the formula to a random number.
Example

The example may be easier to understand if you copy it to a blank worksheet.

How?

Create a blank workbook or worksheet.
Select the example in the Help topic. Do not select the row or column headers.


Selecting an example from Help

Press CTRL+C.
In the worksheet, select cell A1, and press CTRL+V.
To switch between viewing the results and viewing the formulas that return the
results, press CTRL+` (grave accent), or on the Tools menu, point to Formula
Auditing, and then click Formula Auditing Mode.

Formula Description (Result)
=RAND() A random number between 0 and 1 (varies)
=RAND()*100 A random number equal to 0 but less than 100 (varies)
