What I want to do might be extremely complicated or it might be super-easy
and I'm just not able to wrap my head around it... I have a large number of students which will vary from situation to situation (right now it's 29) and I want to be able to divide that class up into groups - anything from 5-10 groups, usually. What I want to be able to do is generate the sizes of those groups as evenly as possible - if I want to make 8 groups from a class of 29, I want those groups to be (4,4,4,4,4,3,3,3), and if I want to make 7 groups I want the output to be (5,4,4,4,4,4,4) so that no group becomes too small. I will input the number of groups and the class size each time, and then I want excel to generate the sizes of the groups for me to use in other functions. Is there a good way you can think of that would solve this, either through a VBA function or some clever cell formulas? Thanks, Babymech |
