Is there a formula in XL where you can select a random value from a list of text values?
RE: formulas
Hi Galina
Thank you for a question. How about
=RANDBETWEEN(1,50)
Where 1 is the starting figure and 50 is the maximum - change the max to suit your requirements.
This could then be combined with the Index function:
=index(array,randbetween(1,10))
where array is a column of 10 cells that contain the text items
to be selected.
If you press F9 this will force Excel to refresh its random number and you will see a different item selected from your list.
I hope this helps - let me know how you get on.
Kind regards,
Andrew
