calculation times

hello this is my first post here,
I hope someone can answer this.If i on sheet 1 have a button and in column A have numbers 1 to 50.When i press the button i want c5 to display a random number from Column A,then wait 15 seconds and d5 display a random number from Column A,then wait 15 seconds and e5 to do the same.All this from the same button press.First of all is this possible,if it is then how would i go about doing it.Thanks for any help.

this will put a number between 1 & 50 in cells c5,d5,e5

Sub randincell()
Range("c5").Value = Int(Rnd * (50)) + 1
Application.Wait Time + TimeSerial(0, 0, 15)
Range("d5").Value = Int(Rnd * (50)) + 1
Application.Wait Time + TimeSerial(0, 0, 15)
Range("e5").Value = Int(Rnd * (50)) + 1
   
   
End Sub

Thanks martin.
one other question if i have the 50 numbers in columnA but this time i put the letter T in (a25) and i am picking 2 random picks from ColA and then adding them together i am using the button to add the result in c5,d5,e5 and also c6,d6,e6 and c7,d7,e7.but if for ei c5 picks 2 numbers but 1 is the T then c5,d5,e5 displays the letter T and c6,d6,e6,c7,d7,e7 calculates as normal.This is hard to explain,Any advice would be great.

errr no idea what you mean!

To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.

If needed supply a before and after sheet in the workbook so the person helping you can see what you are trying to achieve.

Doing this will ensure you get the result you need!
