Another quick way to set it up

Put the start date in A1: 1/1/05
Put in B1: =RAND()
Select A1:B1, copy down to B304:
(In A304 will be the end date: 10/31/05

Put in C1: =INDEX(A:A,RANK(B1,$B$1:$B$304))
Format C1 as date, copy down to C15, which will
... generate a list of 15 random dates between
1/1/05 and 10/31/05 without any duplicates


Press F9 to re-generate afresh
