Spinner is spun 100 times, what is the frequency of spins that land in each
100 regions? (Each rang should be in color) how can I make that in Excel
please?
One more thing,
How to make spreadsheet that compares two fractions?

In A1, enter

=RANDBETWEEN(1,UpperLimit)

where upperlimit is the count of your regions.

Then copy down for as many rows as you have "number of spins"

Then in another column, say C2:C...., type 1, 2, 3, 4,....UpperLimit, and next to this column, use
the formula

=COUNTIF(A:A,C2)

and copy down to get a count.

Everytime you recalc, the numbers will change.

From Excel help on RANDBETWEEN:

"If this function is not available, and returns the #NAME? error,
install and load the Analysis ToolPak add-in."
