Whether you’re playing the lottery or need to randomly select the winner of a contest, you can use Excel to generate a random number.

Let’s say, we wanted to calculate a random number between 4 and 75.  The Excel formula is  =rand()*(75-4)+4.  To calculate a random number between 1 and 100:  =rand()*(100-1)+1.

Didn’t know Excel could do this didja?
