I have a spreadsheet for our office football pool. I put in everyone's picks
and if the team they pick matches the winner they get a point and then it totals those points. My problem is, that before the games are played, the spreadsheet puts a winner in the column based off my formula: =IF(D2F2,A2,C2), D2 being the first team and F2 being the second team, if the games haven't been played yet and the cells for D2 &F2 are empty it will put in the team in cell F2. I would like for it to be blank unless I have a score entered. How would I accomplish this? |

=IF(COUNT(D2,F2)=2,IF(D2F2,A2,C2),"")

Try,
=IF(COUNT(D2,F2)<2,"",IF(D2F2,A2,C2)) Mike Mike "trnivens" wrote: I have a spreadsheet for our office football pool.

Depends upon what type of "football" we're talking about. In American
professional football (NFL), there have been only 3 ties since 1990. Probably not worth added programming. What is called soccer here (and football almost everywhere else) is a completely different story...
