Random selection of text cells
The easiest way to do this:
Assume your codes are in the range A1:A300.
Enter this formula in B1 and copy down to B300:
=RAND()
Now, select the range A1:B300 and do a sort on column B (either ascending or
descending, it doesn't matter)
Use A1:A50 as your 50 random selections.
If you want another 50, just repeat the sort.
