How do I take a list of names and randomly 'pick' one from the list?

Hi
if your list is in A1:A10 use the following formula
=INDEX(A1:A100,RANDBETWEEN(1,10))

Note: the Analysis Toolpak has to be installed for this

Close your eyes and point on the screen?

Assume the names are in A1:A100

=INDEX(A1:A100,INT(RAND()*(101-1)+1))
