Ive seen some posts here about what Im trying to achieve and still Im not
able do it. I have a list of only 7 workers. I need to reorder them randomly
in another column. Ive tryied to use a formula Ive seen here
=INDEX($A$1:$A$65,RANK(B1,$B$1:$B$65))

But Im still getting duplicate names and #N/D errors. Ive tryied to
analyse the cause with no success. Can it be because Im using all the seven
names list?

By the way... my language is Portuguese and I think the function RANK
relates to the CORRESP formula right? (by the way, how can I convert formulas
from english to other languages?)

Thx in advance

Hi,

In my best Portuguese, try this

=Rand()
in B1 and drag down to the same length as your names

Put this in another column and drag down 7 rows
=INDEX($A$1:$A$7,RANK(B1,$B$1:$B$7))

Tap F9 and you wil get you 7 names randomely ordered

Hi Mike, thank you for your fast reply but I still have the same result over
here. Still with duplicate numbers and #N/D errors. But in my best Portguese
Im almost 100% certain that the €œINDEX€� function is €œINDICE€� but by the
looks of it Im doubting that €œRANK€� is €œCORRESP€�€¦ Where can I search any
info about functions and languages?

Hi again.

After a search I found out that RANK translates to ORDEM. Problem solved.

Thx again

I'm almost 100% certain that the "INDEX" function is "INDICE" but by the
looks of it I'm doubting that "RANK" is "CORRESP". Where can I search any
info about functions and languages?
