Final answer:

To randomize a list in Excel without duplicates, use the RAND function along with other functions such as INDEX, RANK, and SMALL.

Step-by-step explanation:

To randomize a list in Excel without duplicates, you can use the RAND function along with other functions such as INDEX, RANK, and SMALL.

Here's an example:

  1. In a new column, enter the formula =RAND() and drag it down to generate random numbers for each item in your list.
  2. In another column, use the formula =INDEX(A:A,MATCH(SMALL(B:B,ROW()),B:B,0)) where A:A is the original list, and B:B contains the random numbers.
  3. Drag the formula down to apply it to all items in the list.

This will create a randomized list without any duplicates.
