hi, when i copy that they are times when i get duplicates, how do i avoid this, plus i need the results of each F9 return to be stored somewhere
Not sure to be honest. To do it fully I as you state I would expect you need some VBA. It's probably best to retitle your question "VBA for random generator" and move it to the "Excel programming" forum.
use rand .then unique rank the rand. then match 1,2,3,4,5 in an index heres an excample with just the first 50 names ,extend to 500 in yours
