How can you automate Excel?
Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.

11000993.9762-0.60%
Sheet3
Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
B1B1=(RAND()*(-0.05-0.05)+0.05)*A1+A1
C1C1=(B1-A1)/A1


pressing f9 should recalculate the random number

EDIT: also i think reopening the worksheet might recalculate the RAND as well
