Hi All,

I have created a Random Number Generator using the code below

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Range("d2") = WorksheetFunction.RandBetween(-2, 2)
Range("d3") = WorksheetFunction.RandBetween(-2, 2)

which works exactly how I want it to

What I would like to do from here is generate a second button code to produce a 2nd random number using the first rand number as it's lowest value - but the code I thought would work doesn't - can anyone help please.

The code I used:
Range("f2") = WorksheetFunction.RandBetween(D2, 2)
Range("f3") = WorksheetFunction.RandBetween(D3, 2)

How to calculate loan payments in Excel?
Use the PMT function: =PMT(5%/12,60,-25000) is for a $25,000 loan, 5% annual interest, 60 month loan.
Hi,
what if you save the first random number in a variable?
Maybe that works?

HTH

Code:
  Range("D2").Value2 = WorksheetFunction.RandBetween(-2, 2)
  Range("D3").Value2 = WorksheetFunction.RandBetween(-2, 2)
  Range("F2").Value2 = WorksheetFunction.RandBetween(Range("D2").Value2, 2)
  Range("F3").Value2 = WorksheetFunction.RandBetween(Range("D3").Value2, 2)
