    RANDOM select strings, and No REPEAT selection

    Dear Excel Experts,

    I found formulas that allow users to select names randomly:-

    But how do we omit the one that has appeared/selected to avoid repetitive value? The reason why I need this is to ensure staff select unique tasks, no one should get same task.

    Below are my input.

    Col A
    BROADBAND
    BAL STATUS
    VOL STATUS
    MAXUP
    MAXUPEXTRA
    VOL PURCHASE
    AXIATA ROAM ON
    ADVANCE
    BDAY BONUS
    BB ON/OFF

    At Cell C2 contains the random picker formula.

    After running the formula in C2 and came out value "VOL STATUS", the next run should not include "VOL STATUS" anymore in the random list to avoid duplicates.

    Appreciate anyone's help.

    Thank you in advance.
    DZ
