Question

So I have been asked to create a Bingo-like card with 25 unique "CORP SPEAK" messages(ROI, ENTERPRISE, GROWTH, CROSS-SELL, etc)

for 55 cards and have it randomized so that no card is the same. Doing it in Adobe Indesign. Any quick solutions for that??

    I'm not a scripting person, but someone created a script for me to alphabetize layer items.  I suppose the same thing could be done to randomly reorder layer contents.

    Might be able to use the RAND function in Excel. I've done it with numbers, but perhaps it can work without an add-on to Excel (there is at least one named Kutools I have used). I've never tried it without that add-on.

    It could be javascripted into a table, but without writing a line of code perhaps have a look at this website if it's something that's required in a hurry: https://osric.com/bingo-card-generator/

    If the answer wasn't in my post, perhaps it might be on my blog at colecandoo!

    Thank you Colin and Mike, I am thinking of using this and then just command-Y the input for each card. Appreciate your assistance!

    Also in regard to the table, I don't do these very often and maybe there is something simple I am missing. Could help in saving hours of frustration. I made a 5 by 5 table basic. Then when I select the cells and paste it only fills the first vertical row with text it doesn't fill all the cells?? What am I missing?
