    Randomizing or Shuffling Multiple Cells – Simple Task Tough Formula

    See attached Example and explanation:

    Data Range = A1:C1

    Need to randomize or shuffle the data range content A1:C1

    Place the result into shuffle range content E1:G1

    Any pointers, suggestions, formulas or direction is very much greatly appreciated.

    You welcome. Remember it can go from column A1 down to how many row you want

    Your simple solution to my overwhelming simple task has made my day happy. Thanks a million!! You may be interested to know I have only been at the excel workbook / formula for about 1 month. The help from Excel Forum has given me encouragement to continue learning. I will have a couple of additional formula question for this project then it will be complete. I may ask again.

    I have been suggested that I should look onto VBA va Formulas, therefore I will be taking that path on my next workbook.

    I am using your formula suggestion that you sent me in my current project. Thanks again.
