title: dice notation in excel
body: <p>i'm having an issue in excel and i need help from someone who knows better.</p>
  
  <p>Quick story : i'm a rolist, i'm doing character sheet on excel and i need to do <code>dice notation</code> calcul.</p>
  
  <p>I need to be able to write in a cell something like <code>3d6+2d4+6</code> or <code>3d8+2+3d9-2d6</code> or any combinaison. and then calculate the result in a other cell.</p>
  
  <p>something like <code>Rolldice(A1)</code> and it would calculate it (if <code>3d8+2+4d8</code> was given it would give a number between <code>9</code> and <code>58</code>)</p>
  
  <p>Basicaly <code>1d6</code> means <code>1</code> dice with six faces, thus a random number betwen <code>1</code> and <code>6</code>. <code>2d6</code> would mean doing <code>1d6 + 1d6</code> (thus a number between <code>2</code> and <code>12</code>)</p>
  
  <p>I don't mind if the result requires me to set the dices between braquets as in : <code>(3d6)+2+(4d8)</code></p>
  
  <p>it should be able to add, substract or multiply dices</p>
  
  <p><code>1dX + 1dX or 1dX - 1dX or 1dX * 1dX</code></p>
  
  <p>I would be immensly thankfull to the one who manage to do that.</p>
  
  <p>I hope i made myself clear enough. feel free to ask specifications if needed.</p>
  
  <p>Best regards,</p>
  
  <p>ps: thanks for fixing my lack of good english. it's especially great to see the reviews and learn from it !</p>
