Dear all,

I did a search for this question and found many threads where people asked for questions related random selection of cells, however, none was really helpful for my case. Perhaps because I don't know macros very well. Anyway, here my problem:


I have an excel database with 61 rows and 32 columns. Each cell has a 0 or a 1. For each row, I would like to obtain two sums, one resulting from the random selection of 16 cells and the other with the remaining 16 cells. Or, I can revert the database, and think of it the other way around -32 rows and 61 columns; for each column, I would like to obtain to new values: one resulting from the sum of 16 randomly selected cells and the from the remaining 16 cells.


Does anyone know how to do something like this?


Thank you very much!
Best,
Tomás
