RANDBETWEEN

[Guest]

I have a worksheet which generates a random number between two base numbers
using the RANDBETWEEN Function. Whenever I close the sheet and reopen, the
workbook won't recognise the function. I go into the add-ins and check the
Analysis Toolpak option, reset my number and it works fine - until I open it
after closing. Again I have to go in and recheck the Analysis Toopak. Any
suggestions as to what is going on.

Don't have any suggestions about what's happening with the ATP.

As an alternative to the ATP RANDBETWEEN function, try this:

=INT((top_number-bottom_number+1)*RAND()+bottom_number)

For example:

=RANDBETWEEN(1,100)
=INT((100-1+1)*RAND()+1)

Note that this is still a *volatile* function

are you sure the checkmark is showing in the box before you leave the add-in
box?

Another way:

=Int(Rand()*100+1)

That's pretty limited.

What if the range was 50 to 100 ?

Another way:

=Int(Rand()*100+1)

Good Question bj. I admit I move around the options pretty quick, and am sure
that the box was checked before I exited, but will focus on that next time,

Ranbetween 50-100

=Int(Rand()*(50+1)+50) or

=Int(Rand()*51+50)
