Default Prevent automatic random generation


Hi.

I am using the formula:
=INDEX(A356:A377,ROUND(RAND()*COUNTA(A356:A377),0) )

To generate a random name from a list. It works fine, but everytime I
do something else on the spreadsheet it generates another random name
form the list. I want it to generate the name once, that is all and
not keep doing it.

Can someone help? Tete
