Default Generating Random Number from a set of numbers

Hello,

I need to generate a set of 12 random numbers from given numbers 1--24 and I
only want to generate 12 even numbers. Any idea as to how I do this?

thanks

Is RANDBETWEEN(1,12)*2 what you want?

Yeah, I think it will work; however, is there a way to use Tools Data
Analysis random number generation to do the same thing?

But, yes, that's great, thanks.
