Default how do you shuffle a range of numbers at random

For instance

in A1 put
1
in A2 put
2

select both cells and grab the lower right corner of A2 and copy down so you
have 1 - 78 in A1:A78

in B1 put

=RAND()

copy down the formula to B78, select both columns and sort by B

now the numbers in A1:A78 will be randomly shuffled


finally delete B
