Picking random Cells/numbers
Hi,
We need to pick 2 5-aside football teams at our office.
if we assign each player a number from 1-10, is there a function that will randomly pick 5 numbers ?
Thanks,
Danny

RE: Picking random Cells/numbers
Hi Danny. Thanks for your query. Try entering...
=RANDBETWEEN(1,10)
...into a cell and see what happens. If you autofill down, however, you'll note you don't end up with a list of unique, random numbers. Creating one of those is...interesting:

Have fun!
