Shuffling a table in Excel

Here is a problem I faced recently - I had an Excel table that I wanted shuffled randomly (no, I was not dealing a bridge hand as people who know about my association with the game might conclude). As a matter of routine I was going to do it the way I knew how to do these things - by copying this into a text file and writing a Perl script to do the shuffling but I just decided to see how one could do it in-place in Excel itself. The answer is very simple and elegant! Just create a pseudo column in the table and set the value for each cell in that column to "=RAND()" and sort on this column! Excel is cool - I want to learn all about it.
