No, because the maximum number of cells in a column is 65536 at present. Excel 2007 (coming "soon") will have a million or so
rows.

Not unless you are using Excel 2007, as there are only 65536 rows. To
generate 100,000 random numbers in two columns, you could type
A1:B50000 in the name box nest to the formula bar and then type this
formula followed by Ctrl+Enter:

=RAND()
