Hello,
I have a very large list that I need to split equally between, 5 people based on average. This list is by month and alphabet, and I need to take the total counts and split them between 5 people so they would each have around the same alphabet count. In the end, I would have one person with A-F, the next with G-K, the next with L-O, and so on, and they need to be as equal as possible.

Sticking to Excel, no VBA.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
Can you show part of your spreadsheet either by a screenshot or maybe copy-and-paste?

Here's a snapshot of the corner - the alpha continues down A-Z and the month continues across July-May with grand totals and averages as the final 2 columns/rows. So, essentially what I want to do is take the average for July-May for all A-Z and group them by 5 people...A-D for one person, E-J for the next, etc as equally as possible. I'm doing it now manually, thought there may be a better way.

July 2014 through May 2015? Or do you mean May 14 through July 14?
