Excel Help.. PLEASE...
I am using M$ Excel that I got with Office XP...
I am making a Rugby World Cup spreadsheet... With scores, tries scored, total points, and so on.... But I am stuck.... I am after a formula that works out that IF a team has scored 5 tries they get a bonus point, IF the team wins by more than 7 points they get a bonus point... Also one that works out that a team has won, and entering that into the Win column... I want it all to do that from when I enter the scores of the teams, and tries score... also, after a formula that works out from the quarter final results and the semi final teams, and from the semi final results to show which team goes where for the final and 3rd/4th place play-offs.... Any ideas?? All help appreciated in advance.. |

The sort order is Column J Descending and then by Column H Descending.. I hear it has to be done in Visual Basic or something... I know BASIC coding, but nothing VB..... ( I have been told it is possible to have 4 buttons on 1 worksheet, relating to 4 OTHER worksheets..... With a macro for EACH button relating to the worksheets in question.... I have placed a light green fill, and the tag I would like for the buttons in place on the results worksheet. All help appreciated in advance. thank you. ) -- B®u©ey homepage:- www.bruc3y.myby.co.uk/splash.htm "I was going to Copyright moo but the cows beat me to it!" |

Bruce,
As I understand it you get a bonus point for 4 tries not 5, and the losing team gets a bonus if they lose by a margin of 7 point or less, not the winning team. -- HTH Bob Phillips ... looking out across Poole Harbour to the Purbecks (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Brucey" wrote in message ...

The original message you replied to, was posted 3 weeks ago, elsewhere. There was more than one set of scoring rules floating around the net back then, just before the world cup started. I just reposted it in all the Excel groups as I might have more joy.. IF u looked at that excel spreadsheet (even in IE) u would see that the formulas represent that... -- B®u©ey homepage:- www.bruc3y.myby.co.uk/splash.htm "I was going to Copyright moo but the cows beat me to it!" |

Brucey -
1. The problem is ill-stated, as you yourself admitted in response to Bob Phillips' correction. 2. You said in an earlier post that with help from two people, yada yada. 3. Turn on the macro recorder, do what you want the macro to do, read what steps Excel wrote, and adjust them to generalize your solution. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP http://www.geocities.com/jonpeltier/Excel/index.html _______ Brucey wrote: On Mon, 27 Oct 2003 08:08:04 GMT, "Brucey" wrote: I am using M$ Excel that I got with Office XP...

Excel Help.. PLEASE...
Actually you are posting among some of the greatest Excel minds out there.....
HOWEVER 1) Cross posting such as yours is generally ignored 2) You are asking about IF statements -- Excel has great help in Functions and the functions wizards are actually pretty good Part of what you are asking in the beginning is quite simple if you set up the columns correctly 3)The 2nd part makes no sense 4) Why would you need macros and buttons if the formulas are written correctly? Do you want to enter the teams and scores in one section then hit a button and have it look at all the matches and create the results? Have you searched Google at all for Excel and Rugby? You might get lucky and find some information already out there 5) You will get less assistance with your attitude exhibited in your reply to yourself. There are tons of Excel resources on the web, look around and learn about macros and buttons etc. "Brucey" wrote in message ... : On Mon, 27 Oct 2003 08:08:04 GMT, "Brucey" : wrote: : : I am using M$ Excel that I got with Office XP... : : I am making a Rugby World Cup spreadsheet... : : With scores, tries scored, total points, and so on.... : : But I am stuck.... : : I am after a formula that works out that IF a team has scored 5 tries : they get a bonus point, IF the team wins by more than 7 points they : get a bonus point...

Brucey,
You should realise 2 things. Few of us will look at spreadsheets, either posted on the web or attached to the NGs, viruses are so prevalent that it isn't worth it. If you want help, it helps to not snap back at us. After my response I was definitely not minded to try to assist any further, and I suspect that Jon now feels the same. And to suggest that there is no-one here that knows about macros or buttons is perverse to put it mildly. Bob "Brucey" wrote in message ...
