I am struggling to find a way to solve the problem below and wondered if anyone has any ideas on the best way to solve this.

I have a number of people, lets say 40 to start with, attending a meeting where there are 4 groups of 10 people.

The goal is for the 40 people in the room, each will attend 4 separate rounds of group meetings of 10 people in each group so when they walk out the door after the 4 group meetings they will have said hello to all 39 other people.

is there a way to either use a formula or VBA to quickly visualise this in a table?


TIA

Click the italics "fx" icon to the left of the formula bar to open the Functions Arguments dialog. Help is displayed for each argument.
Just by looking at an individual, nevermind the mix, in each meeting he/she can meet 9 new people hence in 4 meetings can only possibly meet 36 new people.
