Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
Not sure what formula/code you're using to select a random cell, but you can name the range by selecting those cells and clicking Formulas > Define Name (in Defined Names section). Give it a name, e.g. myRandomRange and click OK.

You can then refer to that range in formulas or code.

=MIN(myRandomRange)
=AVERAGE(myRandomRange)

etc...
