Random sample with proportions

[Richard]

I want to create a random sample for employee focus groups. In the final sample, I want to have a representative number of gender, city/state, job level and ethnicity (all fields in the spreadsheet). So for example if there are 50% males and 50% females, I want 50% males and 50% females in the final random sample. If the process involves a macro or VBA, I would appreciate it if you would let me know how to insert it into a file then run it

Thanks.
