Thanks for the reply.........

Yes just sorting the Nett score is simple but adjusting the same scores for position is a bit tricky...... forget the handicap

As the table stands...shooting the same scores Davy has shot a better inward 9 holes so he should be in position 4 with a 35 and Bryan in position 5 with a 37 score.

Douglas and Bobby shot exact same scores on the inward 9 but on the outward 9 Bobby had a better score with a 38 to Douglas 43
So Bobby moves to position 7 and Douglas to position 8 in the tournament.

This is the problem ..........? Like a tied position but to sort by the inward 9 or column G throws the table out and the same with column F

The only thing I can think of is to high light the scores of these tied players and cut and paste them above or below each other
as they occur when the cards come in. But I just wondered if there was a formula to adjust this through excel.

Entrants to the competitions could be as high as 150.....so this problem is going to arise on occasions.
