Generate random character strings with formulas

The following formulas can help you generate random numbers, letters and alphanumeric values in a range in Excel.

1. To create a random 5-digit number between 10000 and 99999, use this formula: =RANDBETWEEN(10000,99999), and press Enter key, a 5-digit number will be display in a cell, then select the cell and drag the fill handle across to the range that you want to contain this formula, a range of 5-digit numbers have been generated, see screenshots:

Note: you can change the arguments to get your need.

2. To create a random letter, use the this formula: =CHAR(RANDBETWEEN(65,90)). This formula can generate a random letter from a to z, if you need to create four random letters, you need to use & character to add the letters. Such as =CHAR(RANDBETWEEN(65,90))& CHAR(RANDBETWEEN(65,90)) & CHAR(RANDBETWEEN(65,90)) & CHAR(RANDBETWEEN(65,90)). Then you will get a four random letters, and then drag the fill handle over to the range that you want to contain this formula. See screenshot:

Notes:

(1.)The formula is valid in Excel 2007, 2010, and 2013, but not Excel 2003. In Excel 2003, please use the formula =CHAR(INT(RAND()* 25 + 65)) & CHAR(INT(RAND()* 25 + 65)) & CHAR(INT(RAND()* 25 + 65)) & CHAR(INT(RAND()* 25 + 65))

(2.) In formula 65 is A and 90 is Z.

(3.) You can use the character & to add the number of letters you need.

3. To create a random alphanumeric string that has two letters and two numbers, use this formula: =CHAR(RANDBETWEEN(65,90))&CHAR(RANDBETWEEN(65,90))&RANDBETWEEN(10,99) And you will get the following strings in a range which contain two letters and two numbers:

Note: you can change the arguments to get the digit number as you need, and use & to add the number of letters.

Generate random character strings with VBA code

If you feel above formulas are difficult and troublesome, the following VBA code can help you much easier. Please do as this:

1. Hold down the ALT + F11 keys, and it opens the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window.

2. Click Insert > Module, and paste the following macro in the Module window.

3. Then save and close the code, in a cell, enter this function =RandomizeF(x,y) to insert a random character string with a minimum length of x characters, and a maximum length of y characters.

4. In this example, I will use function =RandomizeF(5,10) to generate a character string which between 5 and 10 characters. Then press Enter key, select the cell and drag the fill handle to the range you want to contain this function. And random of alphanumeric and specific character strings which between 5 and 10 characters have been created. See screenshot:

  I found this useful as a starting point--I hadn't touched VBA in several years, so it was way easier to use the sample code here as a basis than start from scratch.
  Skelly1008, have you thought about something like this?
  Do
  Randomize
  charVal = (Int(85 * Rnd) + 48)
  If charVal > &H30 And charVal < &H7A Then
  If Not (charVal > &H5A And charVal < &H61) Then
  If Not (charVal > &H39 And charVal < &H41) Then
  newChar = Chr(charVal)
  Rand = Rand & newChar
  End If
  i = i + 1
  End If
  End If
  Loop Until i = getLen
  That generates strings that contain only a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.

  I'm looking for a code that can generate any number 0 to 9 and or any letter A to Z. But I need 25 characters in the that final out put.
• To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.
  Found way:
  1st: For each char: =RANDBETWEEN(0;1) to randomly select a number or a letter (result in A2 to A9, for example)
  2nd: =IF(An=0;RANDBETWEEN(0;9);CHAR(RAND()*26+97)) - in B2 to B9 -> to generate a number or a letter depending on result in A column
  3rd: in the cell you want the generated password: =B2&B3&B4&B5&B6&B7&B8&B9

  I live the formula but once I enter something in another field the numbers in the random fields change. I only want it to randomly generate one time. Not every time I enter data in other fields on the worksheet. Is that a separate function? Thanks!

• To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.
  The VBA isn't working as a true random number. I'm using (10,12) as the criteria and if I run it down a couple thousand rows and do a countif formula in the adjacent column I find many duplicate passwords.
• To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.
  Very helpful, thank you.
  Using the VBA code, is it possible to only show letters and numbers and not other symbols?
• To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.
  it works :)
  But every time he is generating new passwords, if i select or generate on another cell, previewed ones are changing all the time, and i want to not to change them. please help

  • To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.
    Hi,
    (1) After generation new passwords, you can copy them, and then paste as values.
    (2) See this article: [url]http://www.extendoffice.com/documents/excel/2496-excel-random-number-stop-changing.html[/url]

  Is there a way to keep the values from changing every time I change a different field in the sheet? The passwords re-randomize every time something is changed in the sheet at all.

  VBA method worked great. Thanks so much. I really needed this!
  Take care..
• To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.
  I was wondering if there was a way to add a generic word to the beginning of each generated code, i.e. DISCOUNT56979, DISCOUNT88531, etc. The reason I ask is so that I can track discounts used from different leads.

  • To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.
    In the Insert Random Data dialog box, there is a [b]By mask[/b] option on the String tab that can help you.
    For example, Add the “DISCOUNT” before the 5 random characters, please check the [b]By mask[/b] option, and then enter the “[i][b]DISCOUNT?????[/b][/i]” in the following box.

    • To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.
      Try This: ='DISCOUNT'&RANDBETWEEN(10000,99999)
      This Code is for 5 Random numeric character after 'Discount'
      For alphanumeric try this:
      ='DISCOUNT'&CHAR(RANDBETWEEN(65,90))& CHAR(RANDBETWEEN(65,90)) & CHAR(RANDBETWEEN(65,90)) & CHAR(RANDBETWEEN(65,90))&RANDBETWEEN(0,9)
      or
      ='DISCOUNT'&CHAR(RANDBETWEEN(65,90))& CHAR(RANDBETWEEN(65,90)) & CHAR(RANDBETWEEN(65,90))&RANDBETWEEN(10,99)

  Hi Guys,
  I would like to exclude zeros, O's and X's from the randomly generated string. How is best to achieve this? Many thanks

  • To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.
    Hi,
    It is impossible to exclude some characters from the random string when they are generating with the methods in this article.
    However, you can replace the excluded characters with other letters or numbers in the random strings.
    First of all select these strings, and then open the Find and Replace dialog box with hotkeys of Ctrl + F, at last replace each excluded character with a specified letter or number.

  Thanks for your sharing. For generate random alphanumeric function is not working in Excel 2003 version. Also, how to make it to 8 digits instead of 4?

  • To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.
    Hi HappyE,
    To generate 8 digits of random alphanumeric, you can repeat the & CHAR(INT(RAND() * 25 + 65)) 8 times in the function. That’s meaning the function changes to:
    =CHAR(INT(RAND( )* 25 + 65)) & CHAR(INT(RAND() * 25 + 65)) & CHAR(INT(RAND() * 25 + 65)) & CHAR(INT(RAND() * 25 + 65))& CHAR(INT(RAND() * 25 + 65)) & CHAR(INT(RAND() * 25 + 65)) & CHAR(INT(RAND() * 25 + 65))& CHAR(INT(RAND() * 25 + 65))

      HelloKelly,
      Great formula, thanks for posting it as I've found it very useful generating passwords. Do you know how to generate it without repeating characters at all? Example - it just returned 'JUUJFENQ' but I can't have the repeating 'UU'.
      TIA,
      MayZ

  Hi LAurent,
  Thank you for your comment. I am very sorry the first method with formula (=CHAR) works well in Excel 2007 and 2010, but not Excel 2003. In Excel 2003, you can try the formula
  =CHAR(INT(RAND()* 25 + 65))
  or
  =CHAR(INT(RAND()* 25 + 65)) & CHAR(INT(RAND()* 25 + 65)) & CHAR(INT(RAND()* 25 + 65)) & CHAR(INT(RAND()* 25 + 65))
  By the way, the VBA code works fine in Excel 2003, and we recommend you try it.
