Randomization of Multiple Columns and Sequences
Sorry if this posted before...I did not fill in the Subject Line, so I
don't think my original went through. On with the show---- I created a simple spreadsheet with 10 sets of 3 columns, each separated by a blank column, so 39 columns in all. The cells contain either a single letter or number in a specific sequence, so each row will contain 10 specific sequences of the alphanumeric figures, i.e. the 3 cells "go together." There are over 40 rows of this on the spreadsheet. For example: 4 8 5 3 8 8 etc., with the blank column separating the 5 and 3 cells in this example. 10 of these "clusters" run across each row. Right now the spreadsheet is carefully set up in a type of numeric order. What I want to do is be able to randomize or mix up all the clusters on the sheet. So that a cluster in say, the very top left hand corner of the sheet might now show up somewhere in the middle. All clusters must retain their 3-digit internal order. I would like to be able to hit a key or something to make the sheet mix itself up randomly. Each time I do that, I would like the result to be different from the previous randomization, so I don't keep getting the same randomization starting from the original "in-order" spreadsheet. Any help would be appreciated...If this is possible to do without VB, that would be great as well.
