Hello Jake
Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.
If you go to the Developer ribbon, and click the Macro Security button, you can change the security settings for macros to decide when/how you want to enable macros to run.

To generate a random number in Excel use the = RAND() function.
The value returned will always be between 0 and 1. To convert this to some other random value, you will need to multiply the result by the highest number you want to consider. For example, if you wanted a random number between 1 and 25, you could use the following code line:
= INT(25 * RAND()+ 1)
Since RAND() will always returns a value between 0 and 1 (but never 1 itself), multiplying what it returns by 25 and then using the Integer function INT on that result will return a whole number between 0 and 24.
Finally, 1 is added to this result, so that x will be equal to a number between 1 and 25, inclusive
