Default Create 5 of 6 digits randomly.

Hi Shaun,

Perhaps:
=A1&TEXT(INT(RAND()*10^5),"00000")
where A1 contains the fixed value. If you need the result as a number, you could use:
=VALUE(A1&TEXT(INT(RAND()*10^5),"00000"))

I would like to create a random conformation number, but only make the last 5
of 6 digits random. I would like to make the first number be the hour witch
the meeting time will start. For ex. (743856) 7 for 7:00 and the other 5
would be random. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
