Is there a way to set the range of values when using the magic function?

Lets say I have

 M=magic(5)

The values randomly assigned to each positon in the matrix will range from 1 to 25.

Is there any way to generate a 5x5 matrix like this but to control the range of each element, for example 1 to 6?

The values returned by magic(n) are not randomly assigned (see documentation).

I think what you're describing is randperm.

n = reshape(randperm(25),5,5) % values 1:25

n = 5×5

10 8 6 20 18 15 4 17 21 16 14 7 9 12 22 1 25 13 2 23 19 3 5 24 11

or perhaps randi for sampling with replacement

n = randi(6,5,5)  % values 1:6

n = 5×5

1 1 6 4 2 3 6 2 4 5 2 2 5 4 1 3 3 4 2 6 1 1 3 6 4
