    RANDBETWEEN display in hundreths (0.00) between numbers <1

    I am trying to generate random numbers between 0.01 and 0.99, and be able to set the upper/lower limits.

    Thank you, Tim

    That works, thank you.

    Can the random number be generated as a +/- off the value in a cell? If A1 is 0.5 and I want a random number +/- 0.2 from 0.5, is that possible?

    If the numbers are random and changing with each click I don't see how you can get +/-

    =a1 + randbetween(-20, 20)/100

    =ROUND(A1 + RANDBETWEEN(-20,20)/100, 2)
    That would not be A1 +/- 0.2 if A1 were itself not round to two decimals.
