Default randbetween

Hi,

RANDBETWEEN is a volatile function, like TODAY and NOW among others, that
means they recalculate whenever the spreadsheet recalculates. You have a
couple of solutions.

In addition, since you must have the Analysis ToolPak installed (2003 or
earlier) to be using this function, you could also use the command Tools,
Data Analysis, Random Number Generation. There are a number of different
distributions you can use and for your purposes the output are hard numbers
not formulas.

If this helps, please click the Yes button.
