I am trying to use the rand function to generate an interger

=int(4*rand())

Depending on the result, I'm attempting to assign a text
value i.e. if rand()*3=1,"spades","clubs".

=index({"hearts","spades","diamonds","clubs"},1+in t(4*rand()))

Note: You do not really need int(...) in this context.
1+4*rand() will suffice.
