If you do not need to have a non uniform distribution in your selection.
one method is to in the column next to the data enter =rand() Select the two columns and sort by the rand column. Your data wiill now be in a random order. If you just select the data in series you will have a non replace random selection. If you nned a new set, just sort by the rand column again. If you need a replace type selection. at the top of the column next to the data enter 0 then one cell down enter =1/data count. Increment by the 1/data count to the bottom of the data. then set up a series of random numbers betwween 0 and 1, and use these as your selection criteria in a Vlookup "How to get the data randomnly?" wrote: I need to use the data fron an excel file but I need also to pick-up randomnly. |
