Equal "Distribution"
The real problem is I don't know how to phrase this question in Excel's Help
feature. What I'm trying to do is as follows: I have 4 groups of people (i.e. Group 1, Group 2, etc.). In each group are 4 different people. So total, there are 16 people. I'm trying to mix and match so that each person gets into a group with a different person every time. Does that make sense? I'm not sure if there is a function/formula that can do this. |

There is no such function, you need to use brute strength

Thanks for the laugh! So really, no mathematical way of figuring this out?

It is a question that pops up now and then, I know there has been some
answers using brute strength, if you go here http://groups.google.es/advanced_gro...=lang_en&hl=en and search for table seating (or something similar) I am sure you will find some hits on how to at least use excel in some way (usually by copying down a formula) -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom (No private emails please) "Charles Rodriguez" wrote in message ...

Peo told you the "mathematical way of figuring this out": brute strength,
given your statement of the problem. And it takes little work for what you stated. Or are you looking for something dynamic/volatile in nature? If so, please redefine your post.
