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.
