Randomisation

I have N AxB region of cells. How do I randomly select exactly 10 of the cells, in total, from within all of the regions.

Ideally this would be a function:
=randomise(region,sample_size)

where region is the name given to multiple groups of cells (N AxB) and sample_size is the number of cells I need to randomly select (N).

I would imagine this requires indexing every cell in 'region' and then randomly selecting 10.

Thank you in advance.
