Hello Everyone,

I am running an office pool for the World Cup 2006, and was wondering
if anybody can help with ideas or macros.
I want to create a file which would update and keep track of game
results and scores of all the games and at the same time it would
update the list of people that have made their predictions.
The predictions would be to pick the game winners and try to predict
the scores, 2 point will be given for picking the right winner and 3
point will be given for predicting the correct score of a game.
The file then, as the scores are updated it would update the list of
predictors which would be about 50 people.
Any ideas would be appreciated or if anybody has a file already to use
please provide details.

Hi

While not doing exactly what you want, I have devised a workbook to record
match scores throughout the competition. It updates and re-sorts the group
tables throughout the group stage matches and automatically puts the correct
teams forward for the subsequent rounds (eighth finals, quarter finals,
etc). All you need to do is enter the result for each match, and XL does the
rest. It doesn't, however, monitor predictions like you wanted, so you may
not be interested. However, some of the techniques used (VB and worksheet
formulae) may be useful to you.

E-mail me at:

ik_DOT_rip_AT_ntlworld_DOT_com [remove the underscores and replace the DOTs
and the AT]

if you are interested.
