Excel Help Needed
 

Hi all,

I am looking for formulation/organizational advice for a database of
over 3000 MLB Baseball games. This database would break down each game
based on 7 different factors that are evident in some games and abscent
in others...

What I am looking to do is to create a formula that resembles a "choose
your own adventure" sort of scenario...For example, If i wanted to
immediatly view all the games in the database that exhibited 1 factor,
say "Games where home team won by 5 or more," then I could easily view
all of those games... Then, it would have the capability to go deeper,
say now I only wanted to view "Games where home team won by 5 or more
and away team got 6 or less hits"...Etc...

This is the breakdown I am looking for.. So, if you could help me with
just the formulation part of this database project, I would be very
appreciative..

-Chase

It seems to me that you should use a database such as Access that has
SQL capabilities to make your 7 selections.

use the sumproduct function to count only those criteria you are
interested in - thus by certain teams only, certain dates only, certain
criteria only - you can even have a drop down list or lists that allow
you to analyse your data.

Perhaps you entered your database in Excel. You can easily transfer it
to Access with a Copy from Excel to a Paste in Access. It works quite
well!
