    sr_88,

    You could also use the following:

    Paste this into an empty cell, and it will return 2 random letters, without the need to type letters A-Z & 1-26 elsewhere.


    EDIT: if you require lower-case letters, change the "65,90" in the formula to "97,122".

    I liked it Brendan..

    Sr_88... since you are wish to have small (lower caps) alphabet letters..
    use randbetween (97,122) in Brendan's formula.. else you'll need to user Lower function..cheers
