    Code:
    Sub GenerateRandomNumbers()
    
        Dim lngFrom As Long, lngTo As Long
        Dim rng As Range
        
        lngFrom = InputBox("Enter from value")
        lngTo = InputBox("Enter to value. Should be greater than " & lngFrom)
        
        For Each rng In Selection 'Will error out if selection is not a range
            rng.Value = GETRANDBETWEEN(lngFrom, lngTo)
        Next rng
        
    End Sub
    Function GETRANDBETWEEN(lngFrom As Long, lngTo As Long)
    
        GETRANDBETWEEN = lngFrom + Int(Rnd() * (lngTo - lngFrom + 1))
        
    End Function
    A dream is not something you see when you are asleep, but something you strive for when you are awake.

    It's usually a bad idea to say that something can't be done.

    The difference between dream and aim, is that one requires soundless sleep to see and the other requires sleepless efforts to achieve

    You could always use =RANDBETWEEN() in Excel 2007 and greater, in which case you could modify the function to
    Code:
    Function GETRANDBETWEEN(lngFrom As Long, lngTo As Long)
    
        GETRANDBETWEEN = Application.RandBetween(lngFrom, lngTo)
        
    End Function
