Calling the contents of a random cell
Just some thoughts....
=int(rand()*91+1)
Using that formula there is the high probability (almost a certainty!) of
getting duplicates.
You not really gaining anything by puting that formula in 91 cells and then
using a separate formula to randomly pick one of those cells.
Just use a single cell with the above formula and the net effect will be the
same.

Hi. I have a spread sheet with 90 values in cells L1 through L91.
I am using =int(rand()*91+1) to generate random integers from 1 to 91. I
then want cell C3 to display the contents of L** depending on which random
number was called (so if it give me 10, C3 should display the contents of
L10).
Could anyone tell me how is best to do this. I can't use nested IF
statements as I have too much information in the list.
Thanks.
