You haven't told us what formulae you've tried, and in what way they didn't
meet your requirements, so we can't help you to correct your formulae.
Please remember next time to tell us the formula and what result it gives
gor given inputs, and what result you had expected.

To start from square one, if the handicap for the hole is in column C, the
gross score for the player in column D, and the player's handicap in F1,
then in E2 the formula for the net score could be either
=IF(F$1=2*C2,D2-2,IF(F$1=C2,D2-1,D2)) or
=D2-MIN(2,INT(F$1/C2))

I'm relatively new to excel and am trying to put a spreadsheet together
for
golf game results. I am trying to give a cell a value that represents the
net
score for each player on each hole. Example: Hole #1 is a par 4 with a
handicap of 12, the player has a handicap of 25 and scores a 5 on the
hole.
The net score for that hole should be the gross score minus 2, for a net
3.
Basically, if the player's handicap is more than or equal to the hole
handicap then the player's net score is the gross score minus 1. If the
player's handicap is more than or equal to 2 times the hole handicap then
the
player's net score is the gross score minus 2. Everything I've tried so
far
hasn't worked. Help!
