Default Can I random sample from a set until every sample is selected?

does any know if sampling from a set can be done until all
values are selected?

One way would be to have a helper column, put randbetween(1, #values) in
it, replace the random numbers with values (paste special), sort and
then use the rest of the values sequentially.
