    Random name pairing, no duplicates, 12 months, auto email

    Hi,

    Tricky task, but I want to create a macro that randomly pairs all names in a column without any repeats, then it will draft and send email to each of those pairs.

    but.. then I want to be able to perform this same action again a month later, but not have any repeats of the previous month, until all possible combinations are exhausted.

    I have added an example worksheet with manually sorted lists and some comments to explain the order of actions.

    Any clues on how to even start this? maybe it's worth solving the pairing aspect first, without the emailing - then add that later/separately?

    Any help appreciated.

    Is there way to get a little help on this topic? I'm happy to just get some instructions to start me off, then i can figure it out and ask for specific help when needed? so far I just don't really know if this is possible or if it's so easy that no one wants to entertain it (hopefully the latter, for my sake).

    thanks all. merry xmas.
