Hello,

Yep it's for a US bingo card generator. The problem is we use images instead of numbers. So my 5x5 bingo grid would need to generate a random group of numbers across the 25 squares without any numbers duplicating. I've tried multiple formulas and the closest I've gotten to success is below. However, the numbers are still duplicating since I think each column (or row) is treated independently by the formula. The range of numbers has been anywhere from 30 - 50 but I am trying to randomize 75 images for our next event. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Excel Facts

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
How about
Excel Formula:
=WRAPCOLS(TAKE(SORTBY(SEQUENCE(75),RANDARRAY(75)),25),5)
