Default Random and Lookup and Countif

Greetings All,

In Col A I have many different text entries such as Flightline, Avionics,
Sheet Metal and text data in B1:AC1 down to 1700.
I'm trying to count the amount of times that say, Flightline occurs. Then
sample 10% of those instances in A1:A1700 and return the 10% and the
associated row (?1:?1700)

Say Flightline occurs 17 times in A1:A1700. I want to randomly select 2 of
those rows in another worksheet.

Can you help?

Hi!

This is fairly easy to do but the explanation would be long and complicated.
I put together a sample file that demonstrates how to do this. Let me know
how to contact you and I'll send it to you. Don't trust files from unkown
sources? I don't blame you! I'm a regular here. Do a search on my name and
you'll see.
