Excel Facts

Excel Can Read to You
Customize Quick Access Toolbar. From All Commands, add Speak Cells or Speak Cells on Enter to QAT. Select cells. Press Speak Cells.
If the VINs are in column A and the names in column N, you could put

=INDEX(N:N,RANDBETWEEN(1,COUNTA(N:N)),1)

in B1 and drag down to B1000
