Excel Formula:

=RANDBETWEEN(DATE(year,month,day),DATE(year,month,day))

The above formula contains two formulas:

  • RANDBETWEEN: =RANDBETWEEN(bottom, top)

  • DATE: =DATE(year, month, day)

Example

When creating my raw data for ‘Mad Hatter Chocolatier’, I wanted a list of dates but in a random order for the month of April.
