How can I get Positive values only from the random number generat.
 

I am generating a random group of numbers using Excel's add-in "Random Number
Generator". I am using the normal distribution, but I want positive values
only. I know that the test I am doing will work with the negative values I
have generated, because the mean/stdev are correct. However, the activity
for which the numbers are associated can never be negative, so my
presentation will be less effective. Any ideas?

You could use the randbetween function and specify a positive range i.e.
=Randbetween(1,10000000)
