    nope now it doesnt make sense at all!
    what do you mean by
    continuing down the column but all nine positions must be filled the number are always differance
    i see you have colured in some sections whats supposed to go in them?
    is each one a set of nine random unique numbers? taken from the list in column B ?

    Re: mixing numbers up

    can you give a manual example of what its suposed to look like?
    or do you just want those numbers in col a split into 6 random groups of 9 so if you have say 123 5 times it must only appear 5 times across all the groups?
    if its that seee attached
