Hi all,

what formula i could use.

need some quick help here.

Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

Remember to desensitize the data.

Hi ,

Sorry for the late response. Please find the attached sample file

First sheet is the source file - Listed with workitem ( No. of items might increase or decrease )
Second sheet is with User list - ( List of users might increase or decrease )
Third sheet is the expected output.

The allocation of workitem to users, must be happening randomly and equally. should not have any specific trend.
Like i dont want always first case to allocated to first user.....just an example.

Hope this data shows light on my requirement.

thanks

In the user list in column B, place the numbers 1 through 5 as below.

Data Range

	A	B
1	User list
2	Michele	1
3	Frank	2
4	Louis	3
5	Musoli	4
6	Lancer	5

then on the source file page in Column A beginning in row 2 put this formula =INDEX('User List'!$A$2:$A$6,MATCH(RANDBETWEEN(1,5),'User List'!$B$2:$B$6,)) and copy down.
