Default How do I randomize a list of names in excel?

I have a golf group and we draw for teams. I want to be able to list the
names then have the computer do a random sort of the names.

would I be better in access?

Helper column =RAND(), select the data range including the original & the
helper column, & sort by the random numbers in the helper column.
