    Excel Quiz question randomizer

    Hi there

    Does anyone know where I can find a sample of an Excel Quiz question randomizer. I am attempting to create a multiple choice quiz with the capacity to randomly select 40 questions from a total selection of 120 questions.

    I've got a handle on creating the questions but I'm struggling with the randomization part so would appreciate any help or samples that anyone has to offer.

    Regards

    Macquhele

    Re: Excel Quiz question randomizer

    use =RAND() at every of your 120 questions
    then select SMALL(these_generated_numbers,X) where X = 1..40 as a designation of these to be included.
    suggested approach is by VBA but one can do this with worksheet functions (but remember RAND numbers change every time the sheet is recalculated.
