What is the formula to generate a random name? I have 1000 students records and I'd like to have for each row a student name randomly.
Is there a formula to generate that?
Thanks.

Generating a random list of names with no repeats
in A1:A1000 put the names
in B1:B1000 put =RAND()
in C1:C1000 put =INDEX(A$1:A$1000,MATCH(SMALL(B$1:B$1000,ROW()),B$1:B$1000,0))

Maybe with this
