Hi All, Trying to do some modeling where I would like Excel to create a random number that is picked from a known distribution.
For example, I downloaded all S&P monthly data. Created a histogram and know the distribution. Now I would like Excel to randomly generate a number that follows the distribution of those returns. The only way I can think to do it is have Excel randomly pick a row number and use the return from that row as its number. Is there a more elegant way?
