I’m writing an IF function, and one of the [If_value_False] slots needs to be a random Function.

It works fine, but once the random formula is posted, the cell dosn’t randomize, the IF function behaves as if whatever is in the value true has to be text, not a forumla.

Here’s the function I’ve got:

=IF(ISBLANK(A2),"","=rand()")

If A2 is blank, this function should leave everything blank too whenever it’s placed
If A2 is not blank, it should add a random function. That works up to there. The cell dosn’t follow the =RAND() function.

How can I fix this?

    Remove the quotes around the RAND() function

    =IF(ISBLANK(A2),"",RAND())
