    Odd Even Sort

    This is probably simple, but I will ask it anyways. I have a list of people who are placed in one column, after their position is calculated. There are 7 other columns, including the column for average score, which is the criteria for the standings. There is also a position column, 1,2,3,4 etc, that ranks the participants by place of finish.

    Here's what I need. I need to sort by that position column, and divide the participants by odd/even. I can them copy/paste those names to 2 separate spreadsheets. I need to know how to split them odd/even. Thanks so much.

    Assuming position column is J then try adding another column K with this formula in K2 copied down

    =MOD(J2,2)

    This will give a zero where the position is even or a 1 when it's odd.

    Now selsct all data (including new column) and sort by column K
