I am new to doing this program so if i sound dumb sorry. if you know golf
this might be simple to understand. i have several rows with names and 18
colums ( 1 for each 18 holes). I am trying to do a count of skins won by each
player at the end of each players row.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17
18
name 1 4 5 4 6 3 4 5 5 5 5 6 4 6 4 4 4 4
4
name 2 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 3 3 5 5 5 5 5 5
5
name 3 3 4 4 4 3 5 5 5 5 4 5 5 5 5 5 4 4
3
name 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 3 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 3 4 4
5

I have the sheet set to highlight the lowest value in each column if there
is only one lowest value. here is where it gets confusing. if there is more
than on low value then it would carry over to the next column until it comes
to a column with only one
highlighted. here is what the total would be in the ex. at the end of each
row.
name 1 total is 3
name 2 total is 4
name 3 total is 4
name 4 total is 7

I am mostly doing this just to learn excel but it will also make it easier
for my little golfing group to figure the the winners.

thanks for any direction.
