    Team standings

    Hi there, I have a list of nine teams from B13:B21 with Wins in column C, Losses in Column D, Ties in Column E. Pts are in Column F (all of these run row 13 down to 21). The team listed in B13 has a cell name of One in the Name Box, team in B14 has a cell name of Two, etc up to Nine. The pts total for each team is also named, so F13 is called ptsone and has a current value of 8. F14 is called ptstwo and has a value of 10, etc.
    What I'm trying to do is in a different area of the spreadsheet put a formula that will compare the pts values and then list the team standings based on those points. I was using nested IF statements, but have had no luck so far. Can anyone give me some tips on this request? Thx

    Ok, think I got it uploaded. It's pretty simple as far as I can see, but I can't seem to get the right formatting in the sort the teams based on pts. Thanks again.

    I have clicked the scales for both of your responses. Both solutions gave me what I needed, and in fact, I took part of both and put them into one sheet. Thx again for this. I will mark it as solved.

    Re: Team standings

    Okay sorry - I spoke too soon... LoL... Here is the obstacle I have found... Was hoping someone with some experience could either help me or give me some advice on how to make this more simple cuz I think I've complicated it considerably. I'm an armature clearly - as it took me about 45 minutes to figure out how to Paste Special to get the standing/etc to work.

    Here's what I can't figure out:

    1) How to get rid of the Ties from the standings (cuz it's baseball we don't have any tie games - I'll live with it if it's complicated tho.)
    2) How can I calculate Runs For/ Runs Against / +/- run's in a simple way. What I'd like to do is imput the score once and have it record somehow but the way I have it set up makes that impossible (I think)... I just can't for the life of me figure it out without actually going in there and typing it in each week... Which I guess would be fine...
    3) When two teams have the exact same record, is there a way to adjust the formula to take the +/- as the tiebreaker and rank teams accordingly?


    Ahhhhh... Sorry so back to the 45 minutes to figure out how to paste the standings from sheet 2 into sheet 1... What a mess... I "paste special" and paste "Values & Number Format" and only just realized that I've lost the formula and when I make changes nothing happens to the standing... What am I supposed to paste (Sheet 2 to Sheet 1)

    Thanks a lot for any help/advice you might be able to provide... AD Softball League Schedule & Results - May%2FJuly 2013.xlsx
