Default How do I get Random pairings in Excel?

I figured it out. I didn't sort correctly. I have it working now.

Thanks all for the help!

Say we have 50 people. Put their names in column A in A1 thru A50
In B1 thru B50 enter:
=RAND()
Sort columns A & B by column B

Pair A1 & A2
.......A3 & A4
.......A5 & A6
.

etc.
