Concerned that the thread was bypassed after going 4 deep, I have reposted
it with full includes.

The way the macro works as currently written, it can return to multiple
cells; but in this instance, I just need it to return either the sum of 2
randomly generated numbers between 1 and 6 (simulating a dice roll), or a
single randomly generated number between 1 and 6, and then have the cell be
stable after that is done (not constantly recalculating with every chnage
made to the spreadsheet).

That cannot be a UDF as you are trying to write to many cells, a UDF only
returns a result.

what would I need to change to allow that UDF to be used in any cell?

This is what I want to run:

Sub ROll2D6()
Dim myCell As Range
Dim Sides As Integer
Dim Dies As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim myTemp As Integer

Sides = 6
Dies = 2
For Each myCell In Selection
Randomize
myTemp = 0
For i = 1 To Dies
myTemp = myTemp + Application.RoundUp(Rnd() * Sides, 0)
Next i
myCell.Value = myTemp
Next myCell
End Sub

Adam, not with a formula, but you can use a worksheet change event like
this, put in sheet code

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Count 1 Then Exit Sub
If Target.Address = "$A$1" And UCase(Target.Value) = "Y" Then
'put your code here
End If
End Sub

Can you execute a macro from inside a formula?
IF(A1="Y",execute.macro,"")

Thanks
