=IF(AND(A2=C2,B2=D2),3,IF(AND(A2=B2,C2=D2),1,--(SIGN(A2-B2)=SIGN(C2-D2))))

=IF(AND(A2=C2,B2=D2),3,IF(AND(A2=B2,C2=D2),1,IF(SI GN(A2-B2)=SIGN(C2-D2),1,0)
))

Hi,

I have an xls with a list of football matches. In column A I will have
the home scores and in column B, I will have teh away team's scores. I
then have in column C my predicition for teh home team and in column D
the away team score predcition. I want column E to compare teh two sets
of scores and award me 3 points for an exact match of the scores and 1
point if I predict teh correct wwinner or a draw. - How can I do this?

Thanks

Simon
