Default Working with Random Text & Combining Cells

Third time's a charm...

Rand()*137 should be Rand()*137+1

Oops,

Sorry Louise, posted too quick.

In that formula, please change the " *10 " after the Rand() function to "
*137 ".

Please leave out the quotation marks. So the formula should read:

=INDEX($A$1:$A$137,RAND()*137)&","&INDEX($A$1:$A$1 37,RAND()*137)&","&INDEX($A$1:$A$137,RAND()*137)&" ,"&INDEX($A$1:$A$137,RAND()*137)&","&INDEX($A$1:$A $137,RAND()*137)&","&INDEX($A$1:$A$137,RAND()*137) &","&INDEX($A$1:$A$137,RAND()*137)&","&INDEX($A$1: $A$137,RAND()*137)&","&INDEX($A$1:$A$137,RAND()*13 7)&","&INDEX($A$1:$A$137,RAND()*137)

Hope THAT works.

Hello,

I have been reading everything I can and have not come up with the
solution and I am green to excel. Please assist me with this.

I have a list of 137 cells in A1:A137, each cell has data and none of
the cells are duplicates.

I want to randomly combine 10 of the cells together into B1:B137
separating each piece of data by a comma and repeat down the column so
that I have 137 cells with combined data.

Hope that makes sense?

Any help would be fantastic.

Thanks,

Louise
