Is there a way of performing random selections on an excel spreadsheet? For example if we have a list of jobs from which we need to select 10% for QC, is there an easy way of doing this?

RE: Excel

Dear Vikki

Thank you for attending Excel Intermediate course!! I hope you enjoyed the course and benefited from it.


I would be intersted for you to expand on the query that you have.

Do you want the 10 % of all the slected cells or is it individual cells?

I know that using a basic VBA code you can create your own function that can help you to select group of cells and the calculation "behind the scene" gets carried out.

There has to be a cell where you'd like the result to appear and that is what I am confused about that when you select group of cells then you are not on the cell where the result appears!!

I hope this has answered your query.

If this has answered your query then I would request you to please mark the question as resolved!! If not and you have a specific question related to this then please post it as a new question and we should be able to provide you the solution for it!!

Kindest Regards

Excel tip:

Counting Non Number Cells (Text)

If you try to use the COUNT FUNCTION =COUNT(Cell range)with a range of cells with numbers and or containing text fields you wil find that that the text cells will be excluded from the the count. If you want to include them try the the COUNTA FUNCTION =COUNTA(Cell range). This counts both text and number cell values.
