The first integer is easy (using a Analysis Toolpak add-in)
A1=RANDBETWEEN(min, max)

That presumes min+max <= maxsum. *If that assumption is valid in your case,

A1: *=RANDBETWEEN(min, MIN(max, maxsum-min))

Example: *if min=1, max=1000 and maxsum=50, random integers from 50 through
1000 are not valid.



Good point. I hadn't thought of that! Since I'm not sure what the
values will always be, I'll update my "easy" first integer. Thanks,
Joe!!!
