1. Column A and Column B will be related datas.(If A1 goes to another row, B1 will follow that..)
2. Column C and Column D will not be related datas they will be shuffled in same columns!
3. Column E will be related with column A datas.

Many Thanks

Ok, try this
Run "Sub a1083990a()" only
Note:
- I use column G as temporary helper column, change to suit.
- I assumed there is header at row 1

Assuming your worksheet is set up like your example, this should do the trick:

Sub Randomize()
Dim lastrow As Integer, x As Integer
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Columns("A:A").Insert shift:=xlToRight 'creates helper column
lastrow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count 'finds the last used row in the sheet

For x = 1 To lastrow 'populates the helper column with random numbers
Cells(x, 1).Formula = "=rand()*1000"
Next x

Range("A1:F" & lastrow).Sort key1:=Range("A1"), order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo 'sorts data in columns A - E randomly

Range("A1:A" & lastrow).Copy 'creates a new helper column and populates it with random numbers by copying the formulas from the last helper column
Columns("D:D").Insert shift:=xlToRight
Range("D1:D" & lastrow).PasteSpecial
Columns("A").Delete 'deletes original helper column

Range("C1:D" & lastrow).Sort key1:=Range("C1"), order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo ' sorts data in column C randomly

Range("C1:C" & lastrow).Copy 'creates a new helper column and populates it with random numbers by copying the formulas from the last helper column
Columns("E:E").Insert shift:=xlToRight
Range("E1:E" & lastrow).PasteSpecial
Columns("C").Delete 'deletes second helper column

Range("D1:E" & lastrow).Sort key1:=Range("D1"), order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo 'sorts data in column D randomly

Columns("D").Delete 'deletes final helper column

Application.ScreenUpdating = True 'refreshes screen
End Sub

Assuming your data starts in cell A1 (change red highlighted addresses if necessary), the here is another macro that you can consider...
Code:
[table="width: 500"]
[tr]
	[td]Sub ShuffleDataRows()
  Dim R As Long, C As Long, RandomIndex As Long, Data As Variant, Result As Variant
  Randomize
  Data = Range("[B][COLOR="#FF0000"]A1[/COLOR][/B]").CurrentRegion.Value
  ReDim Result(1 To UBound(Data, 1), 1 To UBound(Data, 2))
  For R = UBound(Data, 1) To 1 Step -1
    RandomIndex = Int(R * Rnd + 1)
    For C = 1 To UBound(Data, 2)
      Result(R, C) = Data(RandomIndex, C)
      Data(RandomIndex, C) = Data(R, C)
    Next
  Next
  Range("[B][COLOR="#FF0000"]A1[/COLOR][/B]").CurrentRegion = Result
End Sub[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

Hi,
Yes but column D and E wasn't changed unlike my sample table...
I will double check..
By the way I'm trying to find the logic if I do that only in one column to circle each-other..
Thanks

Hi,
Yes but column D and E wasn't changed unlike my sample table...
The only way that would/could happen is if you had a blank column before them which, from your example data was not the case.


By the way I'm trying to find the logic if I do that only in one column to circle each-other..
I am not sure what you mean by "to circle each-other"?

If there is no header just change (in my code):

Header:=xlYes

to

Header:=xlNo

Thanks Akuini,
Rick yes you are right.
Also I can use your code even if there is only data's at columns A & B only ..
Is it possible to loop that code like when click it will mix the datas 3 times in one cilick!
I will use that option for lucky draw.The project is on userform and data's shown by labels.
So when I click the button if those data's ruffles 3 times in one click it will be great...
