    Include random word from the word list with a phrase as suffix or prefix

    Hi Everyone,

    Need your help again

    I have a column with a list of Phrases (about 11000 count) which are actually product names. I want to add a suffix or prefix (randomly) to these phrases from a Group Of Terms (about 20-30 count)

    Phrases
    Column A

    Power Bank 500 MAH
    2200 mAh Portable Re-Chargeable Power Bank Battery
    Bluetooth Speaker And Tablet Stand
    Cubic Bluetooth Speaker
    Wireless Induction Speaker
    Zabrak Powerbank Bluetooth Speaker

    Group Of Terms

    Custom Printed
    With Logo Imprinted
    Customized Promotional
    With Custom Personalization


    --------------

    Example Result:

    Custom Printed Power Bank 500 MAH
    Bluetooth Speaker And Tablet Stand With Logo Imprinted
    Wireless Induction Speaker With Custom Personalization


    Hope there is a way to do this using excel functions.

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachements to open the upload window.

    Add a helper column to column A. label your phrases 1-1100 (or however many phrases you have).

    Column B are your phrases
    column C are your Terms
    i put the formula in cell D2. change references where applicable. recalculating, changin widths of columns, or pretty much anthing else randomizes this formula constantly so if you need it to be static, copy and paste values.
    In the formula below i have two instances of 1100 please change the 1100 too what ever the last number in column A is.

    Hi Dosydos,

    Thanks a lot for this help. The function is working, perhaps if the prefix term gets added as suffix the phrase become meaningless.

    If we divide phrases in two groups 550 with random 'suffix only' and 550 with random 'prefix only'. This way I assume there will be two different function to use, one for each group (suffix and prefix)
