How to create a GUID in Excel?

Question

I need a function to add a GUID to cells in excel. I found this previous question on stackoverflow, but it is not working. It suggests the following function:

=CO         


        

Answer 1

The formula for French Excel:

=CONCATENER(
DECHEX(ALEA.ENTRE.BORNES(0;4294967295);8);"-";
DECHEX(ALEA.ENTRE.BORNES(0;42949);4);"-";
DECHEX(ALEA.ENTRE.BORNES(0;42949);4);"-";
DECHEX(ALEA.ENTRE.BORNES(0;42949);4);"-";
DECHEX(ALEA.ENTRE.BORNES(0;4294967295);8);
DECHEX(ALEA.ENTRE.BORNES(0;42949);4))

As noted by Josh M, this does not provide a compliant GUID however, but this works well for my current need.
