Ok, that seems to work, now the only problem i got is that...when their is a
tie..

the total pts from booth position as to be count ex: pos.7 is 5 and pos.8 is
4 equal 9 total, now this need to be devide by the 2 position, (4.5 pts each)
and so on...

so, if we have a team that is tie for 3 place, then is 8pts + 7pts=15pts /2

can you help?

If you have 10 teams and give them points from 10 to 0.....how do you do
that since 10 to 0 is 11? I'm sure you meant 10 to 1?

Assume scores are in the range B2:B10

Use a rank formula in column C:

C2: =RANK(B2,B$2:B$10

Copy down to C10

Create a 2 column table for the point distribution:

H2:H11 = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,910
I2:I11 = 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1

Enter this formula in D2 for the points (accounts for ties):

=SUM(OFFSET(I$2,MATCH(C2,H$2:H$11,0)-1,,COUNTIF(C$2:C$11,C2)))/COUNTIF(C$2:C$11,C2)

Copy down to D10

Hello!

I Have a problem i try to solve...

I am building a Bowling spreadsheet workbook...
I am trying to do something, since they are assigning PTS, by total
pinfall....

What i want to do is to ask excel to look into a specific colums and find
the largest number score 1 trought 10, since they have 10 teams, then when
each score is found, depending on the largest number to the smallest, we
assign pts....10 to 0...

ex: Team 1 = 3500 pin fall
Team 2 = 3450 pin fall

Then Team 1 will get 10pts, and Team will have 9 pts and so on...

I know thE =LARGE command, but i need to had another command to it...

Ex: =large($a$1:$a$5,1),=large($a$1:$a$5,2), what i need to had is telling
the formulas to display 10pts for the largest number, and so on....

can someone help me?

Sorry! for my writing, I am French and sometime is does not sound right!
