random coordinates in excel?
I would like to know how to generate random coordinates on a map in excel. I
have tried to use the formula =rand()*xmax and =rand()*ymax but they don't work. Do I need a later version of excel or have I got the formula wrong? |

What are xmax and ymax?
Are they names? =rand()*A1 will multiply whatever is in A1 by a random number between 0 and 1. kh wrote: I would like to know how to generate random coordinates on a map in excel.
