    Need Help: Distributing 75 names into into 4 teams across 6 lectures in 4 time slots.

    Hello good people,

    http://www.excelforum.com/attachment...1&d=1460630818

    I would truly appreciate some help with this task, as it is both difficult (for me) + rather urgent.

    I have to sort 75 people (unique initials) into 4 different lectures during a day.

    There is in total 6 different lectures being held during the day, but each person can only attend 4 out of the 6 lectures, because there are only 4 time slots.

    All 6 lectures are being held 4 times during the day simultaneously, but each new time slot a new group of people join the lecture.

    The 6 lectures are called:
    A, B, K, H, P, G

    The people who are going to attend the specified lectures are locked (they must attend the lectures they are already assigned to), but the teams are NOT fixed/locked they can be changed (several time if needed), right now they are just randomly selected to make the problem more clear.


    To explain the problem more clearly, here is a participants point of view:
    Today I am going to attend 4 lectures i have been assigned to, but i since there is only 4 time slots i can only attend 4 out of the 6 lectures. I will join each lecture with a group of either 12 or 13 people, but when i move from lecture 1 to lecture 2, it is not necessarily the same people i was grouped with during lecture 1. Each lecture i attend will receive a total of 50 different unique people because 75/6 = 12,5 people per session. And 12,5 * 4 = 50 unique people.
    For obvious reasons I can't attend two lectures at the same time.

    Thanks for reading my post and hopefully you can help me solve this task.

    kind regards

    The links are not valid. Please attach the workbook here.

    Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window (or use the paperclip icon).
