Question : Excel Arrange numbers in Random Order
|
|
I have a column of 50 Integrers (1 through 50). I need to arrange them in random order.
Is there a function that would allow me to sort these in a random order.
I have tried the Rand()*(b-a)+a function e.g. Rand()*50-1)+a, but it generates decimal numbers between 0 and 1 - which doesn't seem right.
Thus far, I am creating a column to the right of the Integers and using the above function and then sorting by the decimal number that was generated.
Is there a better way to do this.
Thanks.

Tomster2,
The way you described is the way I would do it, except that I would just use =rand() as the function.
The fact that the numbers are between 0 and 1 has no influence on the randomness of the sort.
