    Question Fill cell with random cell?

    No answer to my last question so i'll try another way:

    How can I fill a cell with text from another cell e.g. Kx where x is a random number between 1-10?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    If you want an actual random number, try this:

    ="K"&ROUND(RAND()*10,0)

    if you want to reference another cell, this,

    ="K"&A1
    Rule 1: Never merge cells
    Rule 2: See rule 1

    Having now read your post agin - I think you want to select a cell at random between K1 and K10, and return the contents. If this case,

    =INDIRECT("K"&ROUND(RAND()*10,0))
