The RANDBETWEEN function in Microsoft Excel is a function that generates a random integer between two specified values. This function is useful for generating random numbers for various purposes, such as creating random samples, simulating data, and more.

To use the RANDBETWEEN function, follow these steps:

1. Open Microsoft Excel and select the cell where you want the random number to appear.
