    Randomizing Data

    I have a spreadsheet that has about 3000 total rows of data and that data is similar in about 75 row blocks.

    I was wondering how I could randomize the whole 3000 rows.

    I was thinking of using a random number beside each row then just sort the data.

    I don’t know the formula to insert a random number between x and y

    I was also wondering if there is a better way to do this?

    I tried to paste that in but I dont think it worked.

    It says #NAME?

    Did I do something wrong?

    What would I do to copy and past that down the rows?

    You don't really need RANDBETWEEN

    Just use the formula

    =RAND()
