How could I get a random sample from an Excel Sheet
This is a single column example, can be expanded to more than one column:
1. If the data is in A1 thru A3000, copy the data to column B 2. In C1 thru C3000 enter: =RAND() 3. sort columns B&C by C ( leave A alone) this randomizes column B 4. Pull the top 300 records out of column B -- Gary's Student gsnu200709 "SAZFFXCTY" wrote: I am trying to create a sample from an excel report which contains about 3000 records. I would like to pick certain fields from this report and create a separate file for about 10% of the records. Is there a way that I will be able to create this kind of sample from the data. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks Syed Zaman |
