    Building a golf tournament spreadsheet

    I'm a newbie to excel, sorry if I don't make sense.

    I'm putting together a golf tournament spreadsheet. Players come in with a tag, ranking them from 1 - 100 which is given to the tournament director. After the tournament the director enters player's scores and I've got the spreadsheet ranking their names according to score. Now, I need it to assign a new tag number, of those that were given to the director that day, to each player, with the player who came in with the better tag receiving the better tag in the case of a tie. I have gotten it to assign the tags, but when there is a tie it's assigning the same tag to all who tied. How can I fix this? Here is what I've got for the function currently: =VLOOKUP(A4,$B$4:$C$16,2,FALSE) A4 is the rank of the individial, B4 - B16 is the rank of the tag and C4 - C16 is the tag number.

    Re: Building a golf tournament spreadsheet

    Welcome to the forum!

    NWill you please attach a sample Excel workbook? We are not able to work with or manipulate a picture of one.

    1. Make sure that your sample data are REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

    2. Make sure that your desired solution is also shown (mock up the results manually).

    3. Make sure that all confidential data is removed or replaced with dummy data first (e.g. names, addresses, E-mails, etc.).

    4. Try to avoid using merged cells as they cause lots of problems.

    Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment, so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

    Please pay particular attention to point 2 (above): without an idea of your intended outcomes, it is often very difficult to offer appropriate advice.

    @ Poindexter33,
    I think it is unlikely from your description, that anyone will understand what you want unless by chance they have done something very similar and understand about Golf.
    But this thread might be worth a quick read. The author , I think, knows about Golf.

    Re: Building a golf tournament spreadsheet

    Hi Poindexter33- Your description is pretty vague - is a High Tag better or worse? - but it sounds like this might work:
    Divide the Original Tag Rank by 1000 and add it to the player rank, right in column A. That way there are no ties.
