In Excel... How does one create a character+number THAT ONLY UPDATES WHEN ENTERED and DOES NOT change with F9 or reloading the spreadsheet?

Transcript of the video:
How to create random numbers that update only when entered and never change again? My method for this is to use the formula to generate a random number. Double-Click to copy that down.
See that area is selected to go to the right edge of the data hold down the right mouse button Drag back to where I started all with the right mouse button held down and choose copy here as values only. So that creates a formula.
But then before that formula can recalculate we convert those formulas to values.
