    it worked adapted formula now doesn't please help

    i am setting up a spreadsheet for my bowling league sec. i have everything setup except for counting total points won. using formula =IF((D4+C4)>(L4+M4),"TRUE", IF((D4+C4)=(L4+M4), "HALF","FALSE")) to figure out if individual won, lost or tied. then i have =COUNTIF(D16:D20,"TRUE") to count the points won. it worked until i modified the first formula to calculate half's. how do i fix this?

    Hi worthingto and welcome to the forum,
    Change the first formula to:

    then make the second formula

    The idea here is instead of making a Win = True, you will make it a 1. Also a tie will be = .5.

    I hope this makes sense and helps. If not you need to attach your workbook so we can see what is happening. You can do that by clicking on "Go Advanced" and then the Paper Clip Icon above the advanced message area.
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.
