Athletics Ranking Spreadsheet
Hi Guys'n'Gals,
The PE department in my school have asked me to come up with a spreadsheet which can show who (or which team) is leading a competition. Therefore, I have allowed for 8 columns to show events and 10 rows for the teams (in the development version). In the 9th column I have included an =sum formula to add up the total score for each event. For example in Row B - Team C could have scores of 10 8 4 0 2 4 3 2 - in column 9 the score would reflect as 33. That is the easy bit. What they then would like to see is a tenth column which dependant on the scores in column 9 can say whether or not a team is ranked 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc. When scores are added they would like to see this 10th colum changing dynamically to show new leaders etc. Has anyone got any ideas on how I would go about doing this? I don't want to sort them every time, which I had thought of doing - they want it so that they do not have to do anything. Your advice is appreciated, Best wishes Gareth Edmondson -- All of the moments that already passed We'll try to go back and make them last |

Athletics Ranking Spreadsheet
Gareth,
Put in the formula into J1 and fill down: =RANK(I1,I:I,0) This formula compares the referenced cell to all the values and returns its rank. (With 1 being the highest) (this presupposes that you start in row 1, change it to I2, or I3 or what ever row you start in) -- steveb (Remove 'NOSPAM' from email address if replying direct) "Gareth Edmondson" wrote in message ...

Hi Steve,
Excellent. Thank you very much for the help. The PE department will be delighted once I format the spreadsheet into something they can use. Best wishes Gareth Edmondson "steveb" wrote in message ...
