    Red face Re: random number generator - 1 to 100 unique numbers

    I would like to create a Unique Random Number Generator in Excel including the numbers 1 through 100 in cells A1:J10; I need to have each number unique, so that any given number does not appear in more than 1 cell at any given press of the Calculate Now button.

    Any Ideas?

    Thanks,
