Your question pretty much answers itself. This is an English-to-VBA
translation:

Dim cel As Range
jump_target:
' X is a random integer
X = Int(Rnd * 10)
For Each cel In Range("C965:C989")
' I want to compare X to the value in each cell in the range
' C965:C989 and if X matches the value in any one of those cells go
' back to the routine where x is generated again.
If X = cel.Value Then GoTo jump_target
Next
Stop

Note that some people will bitch because OH NOES TEH EEEEEVIL GOTO but it's
short, simple, and it works. (You can avoid GOTO via DO/LOOP or similar.)
