Hi, Please can someone help me. i am creating a spread sheet that automatically shares work load between 3 people.
i have two types of work work "FISH" AND "DOG"
I receive a list of 30 jobs a day for example FISH,FISH,DOG,DOG,FISH,DOG,FISH,FISH,FISH,DOG,DOG

i paste this work load into column A. 3 staff work down the list. one of the staff could always end up with Job DOG. IS there away to sort the data so DOG is split across all 3, so add/sort into a sequence Dog,fish,dog,fish,dog,fish,dog,fish
FISH
DOG
DOG
FISH
FISH
DOG
FISH

I hope that makes sense, how do i sort the data into a certain sequence
 

Excel Facts

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
See if this works? Type this formula into the next column, then sort column B in ascending order.
Excel Formula:
=COUNTIF($A$2:A2,A2)+IF(A2="DOG",0.1,IF(A2="FISH",0.2))
