Hi,
I did try and put this in the 'Formulas and Functions' but the page wouldn't load.
I run a football prediction thing at work and am trying to create a spreadsheet to make life a lot easier. I found one online and have slightly changed it to meet what i need, but there is one part i can not work out.
I have tried contacting the person who made the original but have had no reply.
Basic example for a win
Prediction: Man Utd 3 - 1 Swansea
Man Utd Win and Correct Score = 7 Points. (Eg 3-1)
Man Utd Win and Man Utd Score Correct Goals = 4 Points (Eg 3-2)
Man Utd Win and Swansea Score Correct Goals = 4 Points (Eg 2-1)
Man Utd Win and Neither Correct Goals = 3 Points (Eg 4-0)
Man Utd Lose and Swansea Score Correct Goals = 1 Point (0-1)
None of the above = 0 Points (Eg 0-5)
Basic example for a Draw
Prediction: Man Utd 2 - 2 Swansea
Man Utd Draw and Correct Score = 7 Points (Eg 2-2)
Man Utd Drawn and Other Score = 3 Points (Eg 1-1)
Man Utd or Swansea Win But Score Correct Goals = 1 Point (Eg 2-0)
None of the above = 0 Points (Eg 3-1)
I hope that makes sense!
From my Spreadsheet, it all seems to work, except when there is a correct result and 1 team has the right amount of goals. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
Eg
Prediction: Man Utd 1 - 2 Swansea, lets use the result Man Utd 1 - 3 Swansea. This should produce 4 points (3 for Swansea win + 1 for correct Man Utd score), but my spreadsheet only displays 1 point, so its not understanding to include the win for Swansea.
However, the following will show 4 points.
Prediction: Man Utd 3 - 1 Swansea with a result of 2 - 1. (3 Points for Man Utd win + 1 point for correct Swansea score)
I am not sure why this works for some and not others......
My spreadsheet does seem to work correctly for draws.
I have attached the spreadsheet if someone needs to play with it. (Rows W-BD are normally hidden)
Thanks to anyone that can help me![]()
