RANDARRAY Function

The RANDARRAY function is one of the math and trigonometry functions. It is used to return an array of random numbers and can be configured to fill a certain number of rows and columns, set a range for values, or return whole/decimal numbers.

The RANDARRAY function syntax is:

RANDARRAY([rows],[columns],[min],[max],[whole_number])

where

rows is an optional argument indicating the number of rows to be returned. If the argument is not given, the function will return a value between 0 and 1.

columns is an optional argument indicating the number of columns to be returned. If the argument is not given, the function will return a value between 0 and 1.

min is an optional argument indicating the minimum number to be returned. If the argument is not given, the function will default to 0 and 1.

max is an optional argument indicating the maximum number to be returned. If the argument is not given, the function will default to 0 and 1.

whole_number is an optional TRUE or FALSE argument. If TRUE, the function will return a whole number; FALSE will return a decimal one.
