Hi all!
I have a list of vocabulary words in Excel. Currently I have all the words from A-Z in field B1 with their definitions in C1. In field A1, I have them numbered starting at 1. I want to section or group them off relative to their first letter in the alphabet. Though I do not want to physically move them from the whole group. I would like to use a function that will perform this action when called. I only need the lowest and highest numbers from the A1 field that relate to the words in B1, and from there I can probably figure out the rest..
I'm having trouble figuring out what function will give me the range of a specific section, lets say words that begin with the letter "W".
I need it to return the lowest and highest numbers from the "W" section using the numbers from A1. That way I can plug those numbers in my Random function which will then generate words from a specific group, rather than from the entire list
Here is a rough example if that helps:
____A______B________C____
1___1____Word1___Definition1
2___2____Word1___Definition1
I feel like most of this I can accomplish, I'm just stuck trying to figure out how to get the values that I will need to plug into the Rand function.
If someone can just suggest a function to use, I'm sure I can figure out the rest.
Thanks
Mike
