Description 2013-11-14 07:54:23 UTC
In the LO Help the description for recalculating RAND is inconveniently.

project: libo_help
file: scalc/01.po
context: 04060106.xhp par_id5092318 help.text 
KeyID: nktwg

content: <cite>This function produces a new random number each time Calc recalculates. To force Calc to recalculate manually press Shift+<switchinline select="sys"><caseinline select="MAC">Command </caseinline><defaultinline>Ctrl</defaultinline></switchinline>+F9.</cite>

The second part should read: <cite>To force Calc to recalculate manually press F9.</cite>

The RAND function already recalculates by pressing F9. (Unlike the RANDBETWEEN function that only recalculates by pressing Shift+Ctrl+F9.)
