Here is a quick Monday tip for data junkies.
If you want to shuffle a list of numbers or cells in excel in random order you can do that with “data > sort” menu option of excel.
- First insert a column next to the list you want to shuffle and enter random numbers in each cell in using
=rand(). See below:
- Now select the entire list and sort it by the new column with random numbers. (Menu > data > sort)
- If you want a fresh set of shuffled list, just hit f9 (recalculates all formulas) and sort again
Like this? Also learn how to sort horizontally, fill only weekdays while auto-filling dates

Dear Chandoo,
This is a quite useful for myself. I highly appreciate your efforts for acquainting us with this value adding and time saving tip.
I'll admit it, I never saw this feature before. I was familiar with using Watch Window in VB, but not in workbook. I'll definitely use this in future when building dashboards!
