17 random numbers between 1 to 65
Why worry? You've done your sort based on a random order. Do you need to
be worried if the column now has a different random order in it?

thanks. when I want to sort the column with random numbers, they change as
Excel recalculates the random function. I think I have to copy/special
paste
with values to sort this column. Am I right?

They don't need to be between 1 and 65. Just put random numbers in a
helper column next to your names and then sort using the random
numbers as a key - then just take the top 17 names (or the bottom 17,
or 17 from the middle).
Hope this helps.

65. I
know how to produce random numbers in Excel, but
I don't know how to locate them to be between 1 and 65 .
