You can either use the current XSLT function and then include a loop which would pick a random number and check if the number hasn't been already picked. Another option is to modify the random XSLT function to make it return an array of random numbers and then use these numbers to select the random rows in the CQWP. @Cedric: I think you have two options here.

Is this possible to have several random item (5 for example) shown in the webpart? Hi,

I find it very usefull. Do you have any news about how to reference custom itemstyle without exporting and importing the webpart (preferably directly in your VS web part project). Hi Waldek

Thanks for sharing. Just to let everyone know, when changing the xsl file references in the exported *.webpart file, you need to change the following properties: MainXslLink ItemXslLink The link can be entered as a relative path (thankfully. For example: /Style%20Library/XSL%20Style%20Sheets/CustomItemStyle.xsl Great post! Thanks for sharing.
