Default generate a random number and use if function to generate new data
I am trying to use the rand function to generate an interger between 0-3.
Depending on the result, I'm attempting to assign a text value i.e. if
rand()*3=1,"spades","clubs". The process will work only once. When I use F9
to generate a new random number, the text value remains the same regardless
of the new result for rand()*3. How do I get Excel to generate a new text
value, based on the new random number?
