You are the bomb!!!
That demo that you pointed me to is just the what the doctor ordered.
Thanks
for your help and your timely response. The tie-breaker returns multiple
winners but I can deal with that.
I can't thank you enough.

Thanks for your quick response. I setup the SUMPRODUCT function and I'm
getting an error. It's something I'm doing wrong naturally.
=SUMPRODUCT(--(B$1:E$1=B2:E2))
what goes here? ^
Winners OAK CHI IND TEN WAS CAR
DA Boss SD CHI IND TEN WAS CAR 43
Al Davis OAK CHI IND TEN WAS TB 52
The closest without going over
If all picks are over, the closet minimum difference
If there's tie with the tiebreaker, what then?
If there's a tie then they split the pot.

List the weekly winners across the row at the top of the sheet:
............A........B.....C...D....E
1...Winners Oak Chi Ind Ten
2...Da Boss SD CHI IND TEN
3...Al Davis OAK JAX IND TEN
Then use a formula like this:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(B$1:E$1=B2:E2))
Copy down as needed.
As far as the tie breaker....you'd need to define *all* the rules that
apply. For example:
The closest without going over
If all picks are over, the closet minimum difference
If there's tie with the tiebreaker, what then?

I have a football pool and I'm trying to tally the correct picks.
Format
is
as follows:
Da Boss SD CHI IND TEN WAS CAR 43
Al Davis OAK JAX IND TEN BAL TB 52
Correct picks below:
OAK
CHI
IND
TEN
WAS
CAR
The last column is the tie-breaker team and the points that you
think
both
teams will score. You win if the score is the same or higher i.e.
combined
score is 51, you predicted 44 but another entrant predicted 49. He
wins
because his score is higher than yours. If you can't help me with
the
tie-breaker that's ok. Really need an array to tally correct picks.
Thanks in Advance for any assistance.
