Try

=TEXT(RANDBETWEEN(0,999),"000")


Just remember that these are no longer numbers, they are "Numbers Stored As Text"

 

[Markis]

Simply highlight all the cells you would like this to apply to. Right click and go to "Format Cells". It should open the Number tab, and then go down to custom. In the field for "Type:" simply place "000" without the brackets.

This might also work -

=RIGHT(CONCATENATE("000",RANDBETWEEN(0,999)),3)

Continuation of Question..As Requested By Smitty:

I need help making a list.

Details:

When the Randbetween Function comes up with the 3 sets of numbers than i merge the sets together to get the "Number set" in cell K7

I want it to make a list of "Number Sets" created..if a duplicate "Number Set" is present i don't want it included in the list.

Please Ask Questions If Need Be!

Thanks!
