Happy New year to everyone!


I have a bit of a problem and I was hoping someone could help. The thing is that I am using a formula but I need to add a way that allows the result to be a number that is always either the same or less than the other.

I am using this formula in the cell H3
=IF($C$10=1,RANDBETWEEN(1,9),IF($C$10=2,RANDBETWEE N(10,99),IF($C$10=3,RANDBETWEEN(100,999),IF($C$10= 4,RANDBETWEEN(1000,9999),RANDBETWEEN(10000,99999)) )))

This formula generates a random number between the numbers in parenthesis according to the amount of digits selected in C10 which I want to do , but I also need a formula to put in cell J8 that does the same thing plus return any of those numbers either the same or less than the number in H3.

What I am trying to do is to create a worksheet with division problems so when I put that formula in H3 generates a number according to the amount of digits entered in C7 and to put a formula in J8 that does the same thing according to the amount of digits entered in C10 but that generates a number that is less than the one generated in H3. I have no idea as to how to do that.

In short, if I want a 3 digit number in H3 and it gives me a 318 and if I want a 2 digit number in J8 then the result should be any number but If I wanted to be a 3 digit number then it should give me a a 318 or any 3 digit number less or equal to 318


Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Liz
