Better solution to force recalculate
I have searched and found nothing that worked for me. I am making a character sheet creation spreadsheet (roll dice for characteristics).
the other suggestions didn't work (check boxes, formulas on same table, etc...)
I did find something that seems to work, but it seems hokey.
I put a check box in a cell in a table i called Recalculate. Then modified the existing formula thus:
=(RANDBETWEEN(1,6)+RANDBETWEEN(1,6))×(Recalculate::$A$1=Recalculate::$A$1)
It seems I have to make numbers think that the formula i want to recalculate (random number) is somehow dependent on the checkbox, but the checkbox is simply always returning multiply by 1.
I know some of you are way smarter than me on Numbers, any ideas on something less hokey/workaround-ish that doesn't require me to change every formulas i want to recall every time?
I did submit feedback asking for random functions to be on a recalculate every time numbers recalls any cell.
Thanks
