Monte Carlo simulation



I want to use Excel to perform a Monte Carlo simulation. Therefore I
use the RAND()-function, the random number generator of Excel. This
gives me random numbers between 0 and 1. This number is multiplied
with the difference between the highest and lowest value for a
variable.

However I want to simulate a variables that variate according to a
Weibull-distribution between that min and max value. Other variables
follow a normal distribution.

Can some-one help me out how to perform that in Excel ?

Thanks in advance.
