    Randomize Contestant list

    After the contestant list is completed. And closed.

    I need to shuffle into 3 relays.

    How do I best do that?

    Don't know what more to say. I have a column of say 200 people.

    Before they begin to compete I need to break them up into 3 equal sized lists (randomly shuffled), in as much as any group can be divided by 3.

    Then print out the 3 lists.

    Hi,

    If there are always the same number of names then put a page break at row 67 & 133 and set the Print area to rows 1:200

    In an adjacent helper column enter =RAND() and copy down.
    Then sort the two columns using the helper column as the key.
    Then print the range.

    If the number of names vary then a macro would be necessary to reset the page breaks
