How do I create a random number generator in excel?
 

I would like to be able to generate several random sets of 3 numbers (ex:
563, 742, 094, etc). What formula can I use to set this up in excel?

=RAND()*1000

The formula above will generate random numbers up to 999. You will want to
format the cells as number, no decimal places

=INT(RAND()*999)+1
This will give you a three digit random whole number but there's no
guarantee that a number wont be duplicated if you drag it down a long way.
The 999 +1 in the formula is to ensure you don't get a zero.
Bear in mind that RAND() will recalculate every time anything else
calculates so you will need to Copy Paste Special Values all the cells
that have the above formula in them to avoid the results changing
constantly.
