Upload CSV or Excel files, draw complete random rows, and export the results. Works with Google Sheets exports and requires no sign-up.
The random spreadsheet row picker
Spin Sheet draws random rows from your own columns of data. Type a table, or import a CSV or Excel (XLSX) file — including one you exported from Google Sheets — and pull out one or more rows at random. Ideal for sampling, prize draws, assigning tasks and any time you need to pick fairly from structured data rather than a simple list. It’s free, works offline, and keeps every detail attached to each pick.
How to use Spin Sheet
Build a sheet with the columns you care about — name, email, ticket number, task, or whatever your data holds — or import an existing file in a couple of clicks. Choose how many rows to draw, then generate: Spin Sheet selects rows at random and shows the full row, not just a single cell, so you keep all the context that goes with each pick.
You can export the results straight back out to share or keep a record of a draw. Sheets are stored on your device and generate results offline, so your data stays with you. Sign in only if you want to sync your sheets across devices.
When a row picker helps
Use it to pull a random sample from a list of customers, survey responses or students; to draw raffle and giveaway winners from a spreadsheet of entries; to assign jobs from a task list; or to pick a random question, record or case during a lesson, meeting or audit. Researchers use it for simple random sampling, and teams use it to fairly rotate who takes the next ticket.
Because it works on rows of columns rather than single names, a Spin Sheet keeps every field — the winner’s email, the ticket ID, the assigned task — right there next to the pick, so there’s no cross-referencing a separate list afterwards.
Tips for clean, fair draws
Put a header row at the top so each column is labelled clearly in the results. If you’re running a prize draw, draw all your winners in one generation rather than repeatedly drawing one — it’s faster and the export gives you a tidy record of the whole draw at once.
Keep one row per entry (rather than one row per ticket). If someone has multiple chances, use repeated rows deliberately so the odds stay obvious, and a person’s details only appear once per chance in the result. Export the outcome immediately if you need an audit trail for a giveaway or compliance.
Why a row picker beats a plain list
A simple name wheel is perfect when a name is all you need. But real data usually comes with context — an email to contact the winner, a ticket number to verify them, a department, a due date. Copy just the names out to a wheel and you lose all of that, then have to cross-reference a second spreadsheet to find out who you actually drew.
Spin Sheet keeps the whole row together, so the pick arrives complete: name, email, ticket and any other column, all in one result you can export. For prize draws, random sampling and task assignment, that’s the difference between a draw you can act on immediately and one that creates a second job for you afterwards.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I import a CSV or Excel file?
- Yes. Import rows from CSV or XLSX (including files exported from Google Sheets), draw random rows, and export the results back out as a file.
- Does it pick whole rows or single cells?
- Whole rows. Every column stays attached to the pick, so the winner’s email, ticket number or task comes along with their name.
- Can I draw more than one row at a time?
- Yes — choose how many rows to draw and generate them all in one go, which is ideal for multi-winner prize draws and random samples.
- Is it good for random sampling in research?
- Yes. Import your dataset and draw a random sample of rows, keeping every field attached to each selected record, then export the sample for your records.
- Does the Spin Sheet work offline?
- It does. Sheets are stored on your device and generate results without a connection.
