Default Count rows in multiples of 'X' & highlight?

G'day all,

I have lists of addresses that average about 1250 rows & 6 columns, the list starts at A3. I need to be able to divide lists into multiples of a number that's a result from another calculation (the calculation is the number of addresses they have to deliver to). I'd like to be able to highlight the first & last row of each multiple or the whole block of the multiple. Obviously each block would need to be a different colour.


It's a posties delivery round & when we work short we need to divide up the vacant round so that the rest of the delivery staff have an equal number of addresses to deliver to.
e.g: The list (round) will be divided up by 8 other posties, so, 1227 addresses divided by 8 (other posties) equals 153 addresses each.


If this is possible in Excel it would save the supervisors about an hour a day working out the addresses to deliver to.


Any help would be REALLY appreciated!!! (we are ALWAYS working short)

Cheers

Major Panic
