How do I use the RANDARRAY function in Google Sheets?

Here is the syntax for the RANDARRAY function:

=RANDARRAY([rows], [columns])

rows: The number of rows in the array.

columns: The number of columns in the array.

Note that the two parameters are optional, so you can leave them blank. In that case, the formula shows a 1x1-sized array, a single random value.

For example, if you wanted to generate a 2x2 array of random values between 0 and 1, you could use the following formula:

=RANDARRAY(2, 2)

This would generate a 2x2 array of random values between 0 and 1, like this:
