Help creating evenly proportioned groups.
I have a range of data in two columns with anywhere between 1 and 144 rows of
data. Data in Column A is in text format and contains all unique data. Data in Column B is numeric and may or MAY NOT all be unique. All unique text data has a numeric value associated with it. With this data range, I want to create evenly proportioned groups (groups contain 2, 3, or 4 text values, which I want to be able to change depending on the range size.) For instance. COLUMN A____COLUMN B Text1 has a value of 10 Text2 has a value of 20 Text3 has a value of 30 Text4 has a value of 40 Text5 has a value of 50 Text6 has a value of 60 Text7 has a value of 70 Text8 has a value of 80 What I want to do with those 8 values is to create 2 evenly matched groups of 4. So I want the output to be: Group 1 Text10 = 10 Text30 = 30 Text60 = 60 Text80 = 80 Total Pts = 180 <-- notice the even, or at least close to even, total points between groups. Group 2 Text2 = 20 Text4 = 40 Text5 = 50 Text7 = 70 Total Pts = 180 <-- How would I go about this? I could even put the output in one single column without breaks if that's easier? Thanks! |
