    Randomize the Order of Terms in a Cell in Excel?

    Hi, I have multiple duplicate entries in a column in excel, eg each cell contains: dog, cat, horse, pig, monkey, sheep, fish

    There are multiple cells per column containing different terms but they are all seperated by commas and a space, I want to scramble them so each cell contains the same terms but sorted in a random order, so the example up there would become horse, sheep, monkey, cat, fish, dog etc, is this possible does anyone know?

    Thanks

    yes it is. that's called cross-posting and it is polite to provide links to cross-posts. it's in the forum rules :-)
