I read this as you wanting two random numbers - first you want to pick a random number of rows from the total dataset, and then you want to select that number of random rows from the dataset. Is that correct?

VBA Code:
Sub RandomPercent()
    Dim NumSelected As Long, TotalRows As Long, newRnd As Long, i As Long
    Dim inRng, outRng
    TotalRows = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B2").Value
    inRng = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B6:P" & TotalRows + 6 - 1)
    Randomize
    NumSelected = Int((TotalRows * Rnd) + 1)
    For i = 1 To NumSelected
        newRnd = Int((TotalRows * Rnd) + 1)
        outRng = Application.WorksheetFunction.Index(Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B6:P" & TotalRows + 6 - 1), newRnd, 0)
        Sheets("Sheet2").Range("B" & i + 5).Resize(1, 15) = outRng
    Next
End Sub
