Special note: You need to do an Excel 2003 update to avoid getting negative random numbers—see Knowledge Base 834520 for problem/resolution. Also see 828795 for background on how the random number is calculated so the pseudo value sequence only repeats every 10^13 numbers—this is useful for power users of random numbers in Excel.
