Default Select a random value from a column of values

Hi, I have never programmed Excel before, but do use it a fair amount,
including use of built-in formulae. I would like to be able to select
a random value among a group of values - is this possible?

So for example, in a spreadsheet I have in column A a list of names
from cell 1 to cell 20. then I want to pick a name from random from
that list. How would I do?

Any input would be appreciated.

PS I do not have visual Studio/VB installed on my machine.
