didn't type this in and test, but try this:
mid(A1,1,1) & mid(B1,1,3) & Trim(int(RND(0)*10)) something like that anyway...

=Left(B1,1)&left(A1,3)&trunc(rand()*9+1)
but each time you calculate, the number will change. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Juan" wrote: I need to create a password based on the first letter of the first name and the first 3 letters of the last name along with a random number 1-9 at the end.

Since you posted this in a programming newsgroup, I'm assuming you want VB
code... PW = Left(Range("B1"), 1) & Left(Range("A1"), 3) & (Int(10 * Rnd()) + 1) Rick "Juan" wrote in message ...

What's RANDBETWEEN? Not in Excel 2003
It requires the Analysis ToolPak add-in to be loaded. Rick |

Thanks Tom, Per and Charlie. All of yours work perfectly. This made things so
much easier for me. "Juan" wrote: I need to create a password based on the first letter of the first name and the first 3 letters of the last name along with a random number 1-9 at the end.

Just a heads up,
Int(10 * Rnd()) + 1 generates random numbers between 1 and 10 inclusive vice the 1-9 asked for. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Rick Rothstein (MVP - VB)" wrote: Since you posted this in a programming newsgroup, I'm assuming you want VB code...

I guess I typed that too fast... thanks. Although, based on his last
posting, the OP appears to not want a VB solution (even though he posted to a programming newsgroup), here is the corrected formula for the archives... PW = Left(Range("B1"), 1) & Left(Range("A1"), 3) & (Int(9 * Rnd()) + 1) Rick "Tom Ogilvy" wrote in message ...
