Hey everybody! I was wondering if someone could help a newbie out.

I am trying use a list (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7…16) and pull from that list randomly, the same 8 numbers, but in different orders.

The code that I am using is close, but it pulls different numbers.

Can anyone help me adjust the AS to pull the same numbers, but in different orders?

Thanks.
