I am looking to create a chart detailing the distribution of an equation that has a random number generator as a component. So, the end result would be the above mentioned equation showing a normal distribution curve (or some other distribution curve - not sure yet!!).

Here is the catch. Lets say the answer before I refesh is 500. I press F9, and now it is 200. I want to run 1,000 iterations, but catch the value to each iteration and log it as a value...thus building the Histogram.

I'd like to stay out of writing code, and I would assume that there is a relatively easy way of doing it, but I can't seem to find it. I know I can create a macro, but that would take forever to set up (copying the result into line 1, press F9, copy result in line 2, etc for a 1,000 lines).
There must be an easier way, right??
Thx!

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
There may be easier ways than this, but here's one simple modification of your solution -

Do the calc.
Copy the result into A2.
Insert a new row above A2.
Repeat 1000 times.
