the easiest way to get between 1200 and 2300 is to get random numbers between 0 and 1100 and then add to 1200.

type this in
randint(1100, 2300, 3)
The first two represent the numbers you want the selection to be between and the 3rd number represents how many numbers that you want.
Putting in nothing and just the two, just gives a reandom number between the two.
=D
rand(1100,2300) also works for singular selection
