RAND function. Randomly obtains a small number greater than or equal to 0 and less than 1.(Microsoft Excel)

Japanese version.

Randomly obtains a small number greater than or equal to 0 and less than 1.

However, for generating random numbers, the RANDBETWEEN function has a simpler formula and is easier to use in many situations.

How it works

=RAND()

Example Results

It is obtained randomly to the 1th decimal place.

This number is updated when recalculation occurs, such as when a cell is selected and removed.

For example, if you want to get 1 to 3 at random, the formula is as follows

=INT(RAND()*3)+1

If 3 is set to another number, the upper limit of the random number is increased.

If you remove +1, the random number will start from 0.
