Creating fixture lists
Hi,
How can I use Excel to create fixture lists for a sporting league? I'm taking over the job from a colleague, but I don't know how to do it. I know that he gives each team a value, and then gets excel to automatically generate the fixtures for the whole season. Is this easily possible? FS |

Here is a solution that was previously given by Tom Ogilvy.
Just mix up the combinations and assign dates. Sub RoundRobin14() Dim varr As Variant Dim varr1(1 To 7, 1 To 2) Range("C:D").ClearContents varr = Worksheets("sheet1").Range("A1:A14") For i = 1 To 13 * 8 Step 8 rotate varr Split1 varr, varr1 Cells(i, 3).Resize(7, 2).Value = varr1 Next Set rng = Cells(Rows.Count, 3).End(xlUp)(2) Range(Range("C1"), rng).Copy rng.Offset(1, 1) Range(Range("D1"), rng.Offset(0, 1)).Copy rng.Offset(1, 0) End Sub Sub Split1(arr1, arr2) l = -1 For i = 1 To 14 If i <= 7 Then j = i ii = i k = 1 Else l = l + 1 ii = 14 - l j = i - 7 k = 2 End If arr2(j, k) = arr1(ii, 1) Next End Sub Sub rotate(arr) arr1 = arr For i = 2 To 13 arr(i, 1) = arr1(i + 1, 1) Next arr(14, 1) = arr1(2, 1) End Sub -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Frazer Snowdon" wrote in message ...

PS this was for fourteen teams, here is a more generalised version for any
number of teams.

Bob,
Many thanks for your answers, but it means nothing to me. I'm not a programmer, and I'm a relative newbie with Excel. Is it easy for a beginner to do, or will I be best delegating the job to someone else? cheers, FS "Bob Phillips" wrote: Forget a pair of parentheses.

Yes it is easy.
In a worksheet, hit Alt-F11. This will take you into the VBE. In the Menu select InsertModule Copy the code into the pane presented Then on the worksheet, list the teams in A1:An Then run the macro, menu ToolsMacro..Macros, select RoundRobin from the list and click Run, you will get fixtures. -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Frazer Snowdon" wrote in message ...

Thanks, Bob.
I did what you said but it errored, even with the chevrons taken out. Not sure which bits to leave in and which to take out. I think my best bet may be to explore other options/programmes, because I have around 250 teams over 21 leagues to sort out and I can't afford to get it wrong. I'm not doubting what you say, but I can't be coming on here to ask for help every time something goes wrong! It'd take me until next season to sort it! Thanks for your time anyway!

Bob,
That's a very kind offer - won't it take you a long time? As I said, there are almost 250 teams across 21 leagues, some with different numbers of teams in. I'm not sure which teams are in which league yet because the current season hasn't finished just yet. But I may take you up on your offer when it has. Thanks very much. What's your e-mail address?

Thanks, Bob. I did what you said but it errored, even with the chevrons taken out. Not sure which bits to leave in and which to take out.

Frazier,
I will create a workbook that does it based upon whatever teams are in a given range, and then you can just plug one set of teams in, generate a fixture list, then the next and so on. You can do that whenever you are ready. Give me your email address and I will mail it on. -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Frazer Snowdon" wrote in message ...

Here is a suggestion to do the list using 3 tables on a worksheet instead of
a macro. My example is for 12 teams. It can be done with 2 tables, but I use 3 tables to keep things simple. In cells A1 to A12 are the numbers 12 to 1, and in cells B1 to B12 are the numbers 1 to 12. Cells C1 to C12 also have 1 to 12. All the cells from B1 to M1 contain the number 1. Cell D2 has =C3, which is copied down to D11 (not right down). Cell D12 has =C2. The cells D1 to D12 are copied to E1:M12. Now for the second table. B15 to B26 contain the numbers 1 to 12. Enter the following in C15: =SUMPRODUCT($A$1:$A$12,--(C$1:C$12=$B15)) Copy this to all the cells C15 to M26. This leaves the third and last table. Cells N15 to N26 have numbers 1 to 12 (team numbers). Cells O14 to Y14 have the numbers of the weeks, 1 to 11, if you have weekly matches. In cell O15 enter the following: =VLOOKUP(C15,$B$1:$M$12,O$14+1) Copy this to the rest of the table. "Frazer Snowdon" wrote: Hi, How can I use Excel to create fixture lists for a sporting league?
