One use for the random numbers generated by Excel's RANDBETWEEN functions is to create a dice roller program.

The dice roller consists of a pair of dice created by formatting specific cells in a spreadsheet. These dice can be repeated "rolled" by recalculating the spreadsheet.

Depending on the numbers rolled, dots appear in the appropriate cells of the dice in the worksheet. The appearance of the dots, is controlled by using a combination of the AND , IF , and OR functions.
