Default Random number generator


I recently got a new installation of excel but it is in Spanish and am
struggling a bit with the help instructions.

I want to make a random number generator a bit like bingo with the
numbers 1 to 12.
Gracias!

Default Random number generator

Theorectically RAND() can generate a zero, in which case

=ROUNDUP(RAND()*12,0)

will generate zero

better to use

=INT(RAND()*12)+1
