    Hello fmwfcc1322. Welcome to the forum.

    It makes things much simpler if you upload a small Excel workbook representative of what you are working with, what you mean by "... distripute randomly to 10 reviewers" and how you want those results laid out.

    I should have clarified.

    We want each reviewer to review 1/3 of the applications.

    89 or 90 ???? as 90 is easier and an even distribution then see attached small macro on green button.

    Hi to all!

    With Microsoft 365, this is really easy to do. If you delete or add a Reviewer, the formula just will do the "thing". Blessings!

    Given that there are, and could be, duplicated first names, you might want to take John's formula a step further:

    There is also a slight problem with using RANDARRAY in that it will regenerate the array whenever Excel recalculates the sheet. You might want to consider a small macro to put the formula in place and then convert the output to values:

    Another option is to go to FILE>Options>Formulas and click on "Manual" for "Calculation options"

    and just to shorten the formula slightly it can be:

    I love this. But I need to have all 10 reviewers review 1/3 of the applications. Any suggestions?

    Hi again!

    Is this that you want?
    PHP Code: 
    =WRAPROWS(TAKE(SORTBY(A2:A90&" "&B2:B90,RANDARRAY(ROWS(A2:A90))),ROWS(A2:A90)/3),COUNTA(D1:XFD1),""
    Blessings!

    Re: How to randomly distripute 89 applications to 10 reviewers.

    Let me make sure I understand. So in your example, you want the 9 Reviewers to each interview 1/3. So they would all interview 30 people? So each person would interview 3 times? Or if they are assigned completely randomly, then you might have 1 person being interviewed 5 times and another 1 time. What if they were randomly put into 3 groups. Could you then take those 3 groups and assign them to 3 reviewers each?
