Need help setting up a spreadsheet of some sorts.
I am looking for help in setting up a spreadsheet of some sorts to use at a
car show. The participants of the show have judging forms, they write down a car number for each of the 28 classes in the show that they are voting for and then they turn them in and they get counted. I am looking for some type of spreadsheet I can run on a laptop and as the forms are turned in, someone can just enter the numbers that have been written down in and the spreadsheet will count them up and tally them all for me?? Telling me which car numbers received the most votes in each class Is there something out there that will work for me?? Please let me know and thanks |

Put your 28 classes at the top of each column and put your votes for each person on each row below the class headings. A sum function at the bottom (or at the top) gives you the result You can use window freeze to hold your titles in view. -- John James ------------------------------------------------------------------------ John James's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=32690 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=534011 |

Not SUM(), but MODE() will tell you what car number appears most often

Quite right, Duke, and Mode doesn't help where there is a tie. Here's a detailed method that will show all votes. In Row 1 type headings: VoterID in A1 Class1 in B1 to Class28 in AC28 Use Rows 2 to 100 as one row for each vote In Row 102 type headings: Votes1 in B102 to Votes28 in AC102 CarsClass1 in AE102 to CarsClass28 in BF102 From AE103 to BF103 and downwards, enter the Car Identifiers within each class (i.e. the cars which are being voted for) In B103 enter this formula =IF(AE103="","",SUMPRODUCT(--(B$2:B$100=AE103))) Copy the formula in B103 to the range which includes B103, AC103, and as far down as necessary to cover the maximum number of voting possibilities for all classes. i.e if the maximum number of cars in a class is 20 then copy down 20 rows. When the votes are entered in the range A2 to AC100, then the table of results starting at B102 is automatically updated, with all votes shown If you then dump column AD, you can sort descending on any column in your table (from B103) to see the winner(s) in the sorted order.
