Default Help picking a random number from a given distribution

If you use the function =RAND() it will generate a random number between 1
and 0. If you want it to be between 1 and 100 use =RAND()*100.

Is there a way for me to have Excel select a random number from a given,
e.g., normal distribution? Also can I put a range on the distribution?

Thanks in advance
