Type this formula into cell A1 in a spreadsheet: = RANDBETWEEN(0,500).

This will generate a random integer (whole number) between 0 and 500. Copy the formula down to cell A20 to generate 20 random numbers in the first column of the spreadsheet, for example as shown here.

2 4 5 6 7 8 00 a 10 11 12 13
