I have a spreadsheet that has a group of peoples names on it. I want to
be able to create a formula that will cause it to randomly choose one
of those people on the list. I know there is a way to create a formula
for this but I completely clueless on how I would type the formula in.
Can anyone help me with this? Thank you!
