Hello,
I am fairly new to excel and my homework wants me to do a task that requires using a random number generating function to generate a number between 1-9, and
output a percentage rate based on the percent correlated with the 1-9 number indicated in a table. How can I do this with simple functions and correlate the random number with the percentage rate?

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
Assume A1 is random number:
Code:
=RANDBETWEEN(1,9)
B1 is percentage:
Code:
=-1.25% +(A1*0.25%)
P/s: Replace A1 with formula in A1, if you dont want cell A1.

thank you! how clever to use the 0.25 increasing table values as an equation.
