Formatting with zero decimal places has no effect except to alter the way you see the number, the underlying number is un-changed. If you really want to see a 3 change your formula to this and tap F9 a few times. Using the Int function reduces it to 5 options. =INT(RAND()*(6-1)+1) Mike "Jesse CH" wrote: When the cell B2 is reformatted to general and the number 3 is entered, I do indeed see Yes. However, when I put the RAND function back in to B2, it still returns as FALSE. I have formatted the cell as Number with 0 decimal places, does that matter? I've also tried formatting individual and all cells as general and number. -- -Jesse CH "Mike H" wrote: Jesse, It doesn't, it displays Yes when b2 = 3 so there is something wrong with the way you are seeing B2. As a start try this. Delete the formula from B2, format the cell as general and enter the number 3. Does B3 change to yes? If it does then out your formula back in B2 and it should work.
