Hi All,
I have a list of names and I want to randomly sort them and extract one of the sorted names in order, then randomise again, select, randomise, select etc... i.e. Say I have 4 names: Fred Betty Wilma Barney I want to randomly order the names, say it results in Fred 1st Wilma 2nd Barney 3rd Betty 4th I then want to have say the first name (Fred) copied to another cell, Say the list of names was in Cells A1:A4 so Fred would be copied to C1. Then the remainder of the list is randomised again resulting in say Betty 1st Wilma 2nd Barney 3rd Then Betty's name would be put in/copied to cell C2 Then the list is randomised again, and so on and so forth. Similar in a way to the way numbers for a lottery may be drawn, but I want to use Names, not numbers. Can Anyone Help? Thank you |
