- Type the following formula into the cell: =NORM.INV(RAND(),7,10)
- Press Enter to generate the first random number.
- Copy the formula to the remaining cells where you want to generate random numbers. You can do this by selecting the cell with the formula, clicking on the bottom right corner of the cell and dragging it down to the cells where you want to generate the numbers.
- Excel will automatically generate 36 random numbers around the mean of 7 with a standard deviation of 10.

- Press Enter to generate the first random number with a seed value of 123.
- Copy the formula to the remaining cells where you want to generate random numbers. You can do this by selecting the cell with the formula, clicking on the bottom right corner of the cell and dragging it down to the cells where you want to generate the numbers.
