World cup spreadsheet help
Hello I am a primary school teacher and my 10 year olds ( the brighter ones) have been working on creating a world cup scoresheet. We have come up against a problem however and I will try my best to explain this. We have used if functions to get a league table going and it all works and updates correctly. One problem - when the scores are blank the league table thinks that these are all 0-0 draws and each team starts with 3 draws. I can't work my way round it because I don't know excel well enough. HELP! -- devonpie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ devonpie's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=35226 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=550025 |

Hi,
Not really sure of your question, but.... If you have an IF statement in B1 and you want to test whether cell A1 is empty, you would use something like: =IF(A1="","",your desired output here) This code will leave cell B1 empty if A1 is empty. -- Ken Hudson "devonpie" wrote: Hello I am a primary school teacher and my 10 year olds ( the brighter ones) have been working on creating a world cup scoresheet.

World cup spreadsheet help
a bit hard to help without the fuctions you are using. But trying the ISBLANK() and ISNUMBER() functions. I put an example you can look at: =IF(ISBLANK(A1),"blank", IF(ISNUMBER(A1), IF(A1=0, "0 is the score", A1 & " is the score"), "Nonnumeric entry detected")) So to break it down, it first check to see is A1 blank? if yes, display the word "blank" If no then find out if A1 is a number? If yes, is A1 a 0? If no display Nonnumeric entry detected If A1 is a 0, display 0 is the score, If A1 is a number and higher than 0, display the number as the score I put it all together so that you can see how each part works. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask -- Bearacade ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bearacade's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=35016 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=550025 |
