Default Create Table

rHi,

Here's one way:
Start by creating a 2 column table, fill the first column with the formula
=RAND(), fill the second column with the names. Now you can use something
like this to create you schedule:
Sat:
=VLOOKUP(SMALL($A$3:$A$8,1),$A$3:$B$8,2,0)
=VLOOKUP(SMALL($A$3:$A$8,2),$A$3:$B$8,2,0)
=VLOOKUP(SMALL($A$3:$A$8,3),$A$3:$B$8,2,0)
Sun:
=VLOOKUP(SMALL($A$3:$A$8,4),$A$3:$B$8,2,0)
=VLOOKUP(SMALL($A$3:$A$8,5),$A$3:$B$8,2,0)
=VLOOKUP(SMALL($A$3:$A$8,6),$A$3:$B$8,2,0)

to get a new schedule just hit the F9 key.
