Hello there and thank you for taking the time to read my post.
I am looking for some assistance with a 'fixture list' type table for job comparisons
Please see the attached Excel example which I have manually put together. The list of Jobs could be in the 100's if not thousands and I, therefore, need to automate this part of the process!
(I have only just realised I cannot post workbooks so I have attached a screenshot)

The simplest way to describe my need is like a football league arrangement. There is a list of teams and I need to create a table of Team A versus Team B. In my case, they are jobs not teams.

PART 1
I need to create the 'fixture list' initially for each job to appear in the fixture table. This can then be used to manually enter a result. (I do not need help with this part)

PART 2
It is likely that I will need to compare Job A with Job B, C, D etc but only once and not in a home and away type situation. For example, I do not need Job A v Job B and then Job B v Job A

Ideally I would like the overall ordering to be completely random, so not AvB, AvC, AvD etc.... all mixed up such as AvB, DvF, GvC, EvA etc.

I am happy to have helper columns because once random generator has been done I will cut and paste the values into a new sheet to 'fix' the output.

I hope all that makes sense, I find it very difficult to explain what I am wanting to achieve, however I hope the attached explains a little better.

Thank you to anyone who can offer me help, I do appreciate it.

I am happy for you to delete the post. I have not had any response apart from the slap on the wrists anyway.
For your information, the reason I made a post on an alternate forum was that this forum does not allow uploads of a workbook which would provide what I was seeking.
Once I realised this lack of upload I went to the other forum.
