    Exclamation Post Code (Zip Code) Forula

    Hello, I am using this formula to generate a random Post Code -

    =CHAR(RANDBETWEEN(65,90))&IF(RAND()>0.5,"",CHAR(RANDBETWEEN(65,90)))&RANDBETWEEN(10,99)&" "&RANDBETWEEN(1,9)&CHAR(RANDBETWEEN(65,90))&CHAR(RANDBETWEEN(65,90))

    However I need the first two characters to start with CF, is there a way this can be done?
    Thank you

    maybe just
    ="CF"&RANDBETWEEN(10,99)&" "&RANDBETWEEN(1,9)&CHAR(RANDBETWEEN(65,90))&CHAR(RANDBETWEEN(65,90))
