In the following video we demonstrate how to randomize the rows of an Excel sheet.
Methodology:
We created a new column next to the data we want to randomize their order, then we typed in the first cell the following formula =rand(). =rand() will generate a random value between 0 and 1.
After that we applied the same formula to the entire column.
To apply the formula to the whole column we used a very simple method: we double-clicked on the bottom right hand corner of the cell .
Later, we sorted our date using the column of random values.
Finally, we deleted the new column.
Alternative way to copy the formula to the entire column:
Including the cell with the formula, select the cells in the new column that you want the new formula applied to (all the rows you want to be randomized) and the press Ctrl+D.
This video demonstrates how to find all matching values between two columns in LibreOffice Calc. Precisely, in this video, we fill in columns A and B with random integer values between the numbers 1 and 100 (inclusive). The formula to generate the random values was the following: =RANDBETWEEN(1;100) After we…
Assuming you need to generate a random number that is in a specified range, you can do the following: The above code first creates a pseudo-random number that is in the range of [0, RAND_MAX]. Then it will divide it with the width (+1) of the range we want to…
Recently, we wanted to make a test and see how we could find the maximum value between two variables using bitwise operations. We ended up with the following peculiar way to get the biggest value between two variables using bitwise operations The above formula has two modes: When a <…
