Hi all,

I'm new to the forum.

Could anybody help me to figure out how to count innings pitched in Excel?

Let's say I'm counting the innings pitched in the A1 column and individual games are listed in B1:B10.

I've found a couple of tips in the internet, but they don't seem to work.

To those who are not familiar with how innings pitched in baseball are calculated, they go by retired batters so two complete innings and one retired batter in the third inning amount to 2.1 innings pitched.

So basically I need Excel to roundup to the next rounded number after .2

e.g. 1.2 + 1.1 = 3.0

Hi,

Could you post an example workbook of wht you have so far?
Some manually entered expected results will help too.

Can't upload files at work, but let me try to explain it...

In baseball, innings pitched are calculated by the amount of batters the pitcher has retired in one inning. He needs to retire three (3) batters to end the inning. So one retired batter amounts 0.1 innings pitched and 3 retired batters to 1.0.

So when a pitcher pitches 6.1 innings in Game 1 and 5.2 innings in Game 2, he has pitched a total of 12.0 innings in 2 games.

Does that help? Normally 6.1+5.2 = 11.3, but in this case it should be 12.0 and so on…

The result should look like:

---A-------------------- B
1 12.0 (B1+B2)----- 6.1
2-----------------------5.2

Does =ROUNDUP(SUM(B1:B2),0) in A1 (with 6.1 in B1 and 5.2 in B2) do the trick?

No, because if the pitcher pitches another 4.2 innings in Game 3, he should have 16.2 innings pitched and not 17.

Game 1: 6.1
Game 2: 5.2
Game 3: 4.2
Game 4: 5.2

Should amount to 22.1 innings pitched

Sorry, I don't know much about the game. It's not a huge sport here in the UK.

So is there a rule that states which should be rounded up and which should not?

i.e. if the total ends in .1 it should stay as that but if it ends in .2 then it should be rounded up?
