Excel Formula's
I am trying to create a complex formula and not sure how to do it. Hoping
that someone here can help. I have 2 spreadsheets, one's called "Angler of the year" and the other is called "CLinton Lake". On the Clinton lake sheet, I have the names of all members in the club. Each member could end up in either 1st,2nd,3rd,4th,5th,6th,7th,8th place and so on. For each place there is a point value. 1st is gonna be worth 300 points, 2nd is gonna be 250 points, 3rd is gonna be 225 points and so on. On the "angler of the year sheet", each cell in one column is gonna need this formula. So if, John Brown takes 1st place then he get's 300 points or if he takes 3rd place then he gets 225 and so on for each memeber. Can anyone help me. If you need more info on what I am trying to do then please let me know. Thanks -- ketchumbass |

Excel Formula's
if i understand correctly, one way would be to use the choose formula.
for example, name in column A, place in column B, and this formula in column C: =CHOOSE(B1,300,250,225) just add the remaining values to the formula -- Gary Keramidas Excel 2003 "ketchumbass" wrote in message ...

I'm assuming that the angler's place is based on a total weight of catch?
So, what you'd need to do is rank each angler based on total weight then you'd have a table that lists the rank and its corresponding point value. A lookup formula would then be used. This is relatively simple until you get ties! Is the total point pool limited to a specific amount? For example, in a tournament the total "purse" is 1000 points. Those 1000 points then get distributed to the participants based on their finishing rank. 1st = 500 2nd = 250 3rd = 175 4th = 75 2 people tie for 1st place: Joe = 20 Sue = 20 Tom = 18 Liz = 15 So, the two 1st place finishers split the 1st and 2nd place points: Joe = 375 Sue = 375 Tom = 175 Liz = 75 Is this the type of thing you're looking for? -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "ketchumbass" wrote in message ...

Yes it is...But I am using 2 different spreadsheets The 1st spreadsheet is
called "Angler of the year" and that will show the point value. The other sheet is called "Clinton Lake" and this will show the total weight caught for each member and the place they came in. So, When I enter 1st, 2nd, 3rd and so on for each member then that will automatically enter the point value on the "Angler of the year sheet". So, when I update one sheet then the other sheet updates as well. -- ketchumbass "T. Valko" wrote: I'm assuming that the angler's place is based on a total weight of catch?
