I'll bet ya a Coke that "is" is supposed to be IF !

I'm trying to keep track of a league's scores, but would like to keep the
frame-by-frame scores as well. I don't know how to get the correct logic
to
work for the entire game (mainly because I know very little about Excel),
but
have found an example that works up until the last frame. Then it only
works
if you happen to get a spare or strike in the 10th frame, otherwise
there's a
#NAME error. The code looks like this for the 10th frame only:

=IF(V4="X",IF(W4="X",IF(X4="X",T5+30,IF(ISNUMBER(X 4),T5+20+X4,"")),IF(ISNUMBER(W4),IF(X4="X",T5+20+W 4,IF(ISNUMBER(X4),T5+10+W4+X4,"")),"")),IF(ISNUMBE R(V4),IF(W4="/",IF(X4="X",T5+20,IF(ISNUMBER(X4),T5+10+X4,"")),is (ISNUMBER(W4),T5+V4+W4,""))))

Since I know so little about Excel logic, I can't tell where the hang up
is.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
