Random select of text
Hi,
I have a list of questions, which I want to be selected on another sheet at random, the range is Sheet1!A1:A10 and when I run a command, I wish to have one of the questions from the selected range chosen at random. ie. [very simplistic example] Sheet 1 A1 = What colour is grass? A2 = What colour is the sky? Sheet 2 A1 contains the result of this function and is calculated when the function is called by a command button. I hope this all makes sense? Thanking you all in advance. Cheers Tanya |

you could paste this macro into a vba module and assign it to a forms button
on the worksheet Sub Test() Dim lngRandom As Long Randomize lngRandom = Int((10 * Rnd) + 1) Range("A1").Value = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & lngRandom) End Sub "Tanya" wrote: Hi, I have a list of questions, which I want to be selected on another sheet at random, the range is Sheet1!A1:A10 and when I run a command, I wish to have one of the questions from the selected range chosen at random. ie.
