I have found code online to generate a random number using VBA (on click of button)
How do I get it to display a certain cell (H5) rather than in a msgbx?

Code:
Sub random_num()

     'Initialize the random number generator
     '=> Randomize : add this before you call the Rnd function to obtain completely random values
     Randomize
     
     'Random whole number between 1 and 50 :
     random_number = Int(50 * Rnd) + 1
     
     MsgBox random_number
     
End Sub

     [B][COLOR="#FF0000"]MsgBox random_number[/COLOR][/B]
     
End Sub

Try changing the red highlighted line to this...

Range("H5").Value = random_number
