Searching this forum, I found the below code to generate a list of numbers in random order using vba.

I'm trying to adapt this code in order to add a new variable (x), so that the upperbound value of array V is the value of this variable (x).

VBA Code:
Sub Demo1()
    Dim x, V, L&, R&, S
        x = 132
        V = [ROW(101:x)]
    For L = UBound(V) To 2 Step -1
        R = Application.RandBetween(1, L)
        S = V(L, 1):  V(L, 1) = V(R, 1):  V(R, 1) = S
    Next
        [A1].Resize(UBound(V)).Value2 = V
End Sub

How could I rewrite this piece of code?

VBA Code:
        V = [ROW(101:x)]
 

Excel Facts

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
How about this?

VBA Code:
V = Evaluate("TRANSPOSE(INDEX(ROW(101:" & x & "),))")

Another option
VBA Code:
        V = Evaluate("ROW(101:" & x & ")")

Solution
I would like to thank you both, Fluff and Irobbo314. Fluff's answer works fine.

Irobbo314's answer also works, but the use of "transpose" creates the need to change the code as shown below.

VBA Code:
Sub Demo1()
    Dim x, V, L&, R&, S
        x = 132
        V = Evaluate("TRANSPOSE(INDEX(ROW(101:" & x & "),))")
    For L = UBound(V) To 2 Step -1
        R = Application.RandBetween(1, L)
        S = V(L):  V(L) = V(R):  V(R) = S
    Next
        [A1].Resize(UBound(V)).Value2 = Application.Transpose(V)
End Sub
