Hi all,
I would like to be able to count the amount of entries in column C and depending on the amount group in either groups of 3 or 4, all names would be unique......so if there are 14 names in the list they would need to be grouped in to two groups of 4 and two groups of 3, if there were 19 then 4 groups of 4 and 1 group of 3 etc to a maximum 50 people, the results could appear on a seperate worksheet say pasted on to the worksheet starting with the groups of 3 (so paste a group of 3 then skip 3 rows then paste groups of 4 skip 2 rows, the row skipping is to allow seperation and manual entry of extra data).
Below is how i generate the list of people and then randomise them and display the result (i have only used up to 24 in this test, the names come from sheet2 in my workbook)
Hope someone can help.......it seems very complex to group all the permutations!
Simon.
