Tried it but all of the numbers are either 0 or 1. Where did I go wrong???

One way ..

Suppose serial nos (1,2,3 ... 600)
and names are in cols A and B, from row1 to 600

Put in C1: =INDEX($A$1:$A$600,RANK(D1,$D$1:$D$600))
Put in D1: =RAND()
Select C1:D1, fill down

C1 returns the random shuffle of the serial nos that's required

I have a list of 600 names. I would like to generate a random number
between 1 and 600 for each person but not have any repeating numbers. So
far I have used
=rand()*600
This give me the correct number range but many of the numbers repeat.

Can I accomplish what I want to do?
