    Select rows randomly

    Hi

    I need to make a random selection from rows. I also know how many rows has to be randomly selected or what the selection percentage must be.

    I appreciate any help.

    RAND FUNCTION

    =RAND()

    will produce a random number between 0 and 1. If you want a higher range you can use:

    =RAND()*100

    If you want only whole numbers you can use:

    =INT(RAND()*100)

    RANDBETWEEN

    =RANDBETWEEN(1,500)

    Will produce a random whole number between 1 and 500.

    Thank you very much!

    I used =rand(), sorted the list accoring to the number and then picked every 10th row from the list.
