Hello Everyone,

I was hoping someone could help me with what should be a simple problem, I have been racking my brains for a solution I cannot work out.

A have alist which contains a max of 28 names. Some weeks I may have full 28 names other weeks I may only have 14. I would like the spreadsheet to automatically work out the halfway point and mark half the class in group A and the other half in group B.

Does anyone have any idea how I could do this?
