    Distribute People across Teams to balance strength/points

    Hi All,
    I searched for my requirement a bit but could not find anything specific or something that i could work on. Hence, posting this query.

    I have a list of people(say 100) with different points per person.
    I need to divide them to different teams where in, the number of people and points and balanced to the best possible limit.
    I've a file with sample data for your reference.

    The number of people, points and the number of teams are variable.

    If there is a way where i can do initial padding ( strengthen a team beforehand) and then divide, that would be great. Eg: Adding more people and points to a team

    Please help me. I am tired of doing this manually!

    Regards,
    hrshv
