Dear Mr. Commish:

Because of the way the formulas are laid out (consecutive rows referring to
non-consecutive rows on another sheet) the traditional copy/paste will not
work. I added enough columns to have 20 players in my pool. I edited the
formulas in the last column for Player 5 to read:

=IF('NCAA Men''s Bracket 2005'!$D8=L4, 1, 0) NOTE the addition of the '$'.
I had to manually edit each cell in the column (all the way down to row 78).
I also had to edit the score for a win for succeeding rounds, as we weight a
later round win as 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 points as the rounds increase.

Also note that the developer Merged some cells, that also makes the copying
more difficult. I undid the merging while I was manipulating the data.

I then copied and pasted my updated formulas out to fill my 20 players.

Add the columns where?

Internally? To the right or left of existing columns?

What happens to the formulas when you do add a column?
