One play to try ..
Assume the list to be randomized is in A1:A5
A1:A5 can contain any type of list, e.g.:
the numbers 1 - 5, Text1, Text2 ... Text5, etc
Put in say, E1: =RAND()
Copy down to E5
Put in B1:
=INDEX($A$1:$A$5,MATCH(SMALL(E:E,ROW(A1)),E:E,0))
Copy down to B5
B1:B5 will generate a randomized, non-repeating
scramble of whatever's in A1:A5, with each recalc
Just tap / press F9 to regenerate afresh

How do I generate random numbers within a range of cells and not equal to
each other? If I have 5 cells, and I want 5 random numbers between 1 and
5,
but with each cell having a different number than any of the other cells,
how
do I do this?
