    sorting student names into teams of three

    This is a follow up to help that I received a while ago on a similar question.

    I have a list of students that need to sorted into teams of three persons. (see attachment - 'SHUFFLE' worksheet)

    Absent students - i.e. students signified by a number (see worksheet) rather than a name need to be excluded from the sort.

    I tried to do this myself by manipulating the formula I had for making pairs but got stuck pretty quickly.

    Can anyone help with this.

    Hi nhush,

    I believe you need the formula in the range I3:k16... but I am not getting the logic.. can you enter some results manually and provide some explanation for them ? thanks.
