# RANDBETWEEN Function

The RANDBETWEEN function is one of the math and trigonometry functions. The function returns a random number greater than or equal to lower-bound and less than or equal to upper-bound.

The RANDBETWEEN function syntax is:

RANDBETWEEN(lower-bound, upper-bound)

where

lower-bound is the smallest integer value.

upper-bound is the largest integer value.

The numeric values can be entered manually or included into the cells you make reference to.

Note: if lower-bound is a greater than upper-bound, the function will return #NUM! error.
