Creating a fixture list

[Gilbo]

I have used a macro to gererate fixtures for a league but it doesn't
calculate properly. All teams should play each other once, (ie 10 teams - 90
matches). I have used the following macro. Thanks for your help in advance.

Sub leagueMatch()
Dim i, j As Long
Dim datacolumn As String
Dim resultColumn As String
Dim firstRow, lastRow, currRow As Long

datacolumn = "A"
resultColumn = "C"
firstRow = 1
currRow = 1
lastRow = Range(datacolumn & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

For i = firstRow To lastRow - 1
For j = i + 1 To lastRow
Range(resultColumn & Format(currRow)) = Range(datacolumn &
Format(i)) & " vs " & Range(datacolumn & Format(j))
currRow = currRow + 1
Next
Next
End Sub

Hi

This will give you 90 matches. Each team will play against each other twice
(as host and as guest).

Sub leagueMatch()
Dim i, j As Long
Dim datacolumn As String
Dim resultColumn As String
Dim firstRow, lastRow, currRow As Long

datacolumn = "A"
resultColumn = "C"
firstRow = 1
currRow = 1
lastRow = Range(datacolumn & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

For i = firstRow To lastRow
For j = firstRow To lastRow
If Cells(i, datacolumn) <> Cells(j, datacolumn) Then
Range(resultColumn & Format(currRow)) = Range(datacolumn &
Format(i)) & " vs " & Range(datacolumn & Format(j))
currRow = currRow + 1
End If
Next
Next
End Sub

Now you have work out the fixtures, would it be possible to work out the
matches for each week with another macro,
ie 12 teams 6 matches
Team1 v Team2
Team3 v Team4
Team5 v Team6
Team7 v Team8
Team9 v Team10
Team11 v Team12
So that every team plays every other team twice, and all teams play every week
