Picking an item from csv file (DataFile)

I have uploaded a CSV file, which I can display using DataFile. This CSV file represents a table, and I want to select a specific cell at random. Instead of searching for a specific text, I just want to retrieve a random cell value. I think I could either count the rows and columns (using split at "[" or so?) and create a list from a random row or a column and then display a random item from that list. However, I'm unsure where to begin. Could you provide some help?

Using "list to csv table" ??

Just use the random function to pick a row and then again to pick a column.

Just discovered I can use these in various constellations:
