random of 4 names
 

Have cells B4 to B84 with names in them in cell C4 to C84 have 4
differance titles in it, in cell E I need one of each title in blocks
of 4

Clearly the Barons are in rows 4 thru 24. The Dukes are in rows 25
thru 44. The Earls are in rows 45 thru 64. The Counts are in rows 65
thru 84.

To pick a Baron,Duke, Earl, and Count at random, use these formulae:

=OFFSET(B1,RANDBETWEEN(4,24)-1,0)
=OFFSET(B1,RANDBETWEEN(25,44)-1,0)
=OFFSET(B1,RANDBETWEEN(45,64)-1,0)
=OFFSET(B1,RANDBETWEEN(65,84)-1,0)
