RANDARRAY

The RANDARRAY function in Google Sheets generates an array of random numbers between 0 and 1. It is a helpful tool for simulations, statistical analysis, and random number generation.

Function Syntax and Parameters

Syntax: RANDARRAY(rows, columns)

Parameters:

  • rows: The number of rows in the generated array.
  • columns: The number of columns in the generated array.

Step-by-Step Tutorial

  1. Generating a single random number:

    • Example: =RANDARRAY(1, 1)
    • Result: Returns a single random number between 0 and 1.
  2. Generating a random array with specific dimensions:

    • Example: =RANDARRAY(3, 2)
    • Result: Returns a 3x2 array of random numbers between 0 and 1.

Use Cases and Scenarios

  1. Simulations: Generate random numbers for Monte Carlo simulations.
  2. Statistical Analysis: Create random datasets for testing statistical models.
  3. Random Sampling: Generate random samples for research or analysis.
