=(C$1=$B2)+AND(C$118,C$1-18=$B2) in C2, and copy down and across as
appropriate

assuming that your players' handicaps are in row 1 starting at C1, and
that your stroke index for each hole is in B2:B19 (presumably hole number
in column A?).

I have a scoring spreadsheet for tracking a golf competition. In it,
players
have a handicap (1-28) and each hole has a stroke index (1-18) which
signifies how easy each hole is (1 hard, 18 easy).

I am trying to work out a formula that assigns the right number of shots
each player based on the handicap and stroke index.

For example, if I have a handicap of 21, I will get 1 shot on all 18
holes,
and extra shot on the three hardest holes (those with SI of 1 to 3).

So the formula is to return a value of 0, 1 or 2.

Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!
