<p>The <b>RANDBETWEEN</b> function syntax is:</p>
<p style="text-indent: 150px;"><b><em>RANDBETWEEN(lower-bound, upper-bound)</em></b></p>
<p><em>where</em></p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>lower-bound</em></b> is the smallest integer value.</p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>upper-bound</em></b> is the largest integer value.</p>
<p>The numeric values can be entered manually or included into the cells you make reference to.</p>
<p class="note"><b>Note</b>: if <b><em>lower-bound</em></b> is a greater than <b><em>upper-bound</em></b>, the function will return <b>#NUM!</b> error.</p>
