you could make it so with something like this:



That's tested so it works, if you extend the function params and other stuff you can have more results to randomly choose from.

Hope that helps

EDIT: Edited to add for each loop

But with yours, the more numbers to add the messier is gets, whereas, apart from setting the values in mine, the code is almost unchanged. You could use a Data statement to list the group...

Obviously it's down the your preferred way of working, but personally I wouldn't like an add an extra parameter to my function, plus the accompanying Case statement everytime I increase the size of my group. Also my way is a bit more convenient, say you had a group of numbers of differing size, your way is not as practical. When using arrays you can resize to the required size and fill it up, and the way my function is coded means it can handle an array of any size.
