How can I randomly sort a column of data using Excel?
You don't necessarily need to use a sort. Suppose your list of men are in
A1:A5 and the list of women are in B1:B5. The formula =OFFSET(A1,RAND()*4,0,1,1) will return a randomly selected male. The formula =OFFSET(B1,RAND()*4,0,1,1) will return a randomly selected female. In both formulas, change the '4' to the number of rows of names, minus 1. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft Most Valuable Professional Excel Product Group Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com (email on web site) "Paul F." <Paul wrote in message ... A bowling league consisting of an equal number of men and women would like to do a blind draw of two person teams (one male & one female) randomly each night of play so that the teams members will be different each week and randomly selected. |
