Random Numbers

I am using the RANDBETWEEN command to produce random
numbers. My question is:

Is there a command that I can type into a cell to
lock in a random number once it is produced, so it
won't keep making new numbers everytime I enter
something in another cell?

One option, you can copy the range, then Paste Special Values over that same range to make those random numbers static. If as you say you'd like to type a command to achieve this, you can write a macro to do this and assign that macro to a shortcut key.
