Are these in a single column range--like A1:A496?

If yes, then put:
=rand()
in B1 and drag down to B496

Then select A1:B496 and sort by column B.

Enter the values in column A
Enter:
=RAND() in B1 and copy down

Sort cols A&B by B

Hi,

Lets assume these numbers are in column A. Put this in B1 abd drag down

=Rand()

Select columnA & Column B and sort on column B to mix up your numbers.
