Hi
I want to fill a column with random names (e.g. John, Alex, Mary, David etc) instead of typing them manually for education/study purpose. Is there anyway I can do that?
Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
What is your data source for those names? Are you using some external content or will you be making say a "master list" that you can draw from?
