    Analyzing Results Data

    I would like some help analyzing some data that I accumlated. I have a spreadsheet that has multiple columns that are used to predict an outcome, each column is ranked from 1 to 10. So what I do is count up how many 1st ranked, 2nd ranked, 3rd ranked ect.. for each column. So what I would have is a table with columns telling me this column had 20 first ranked values that were predicted, 18 second ranked values that were predicted, ect... My question would be how can I analyzed this data to put a "weight" on these columns to make my predictions better. Hope this makes sense.

    Thanks
    Jeremy

    It might be easier to offer suggestions if we could see an example of what you are working with, including samples of your data, a few samples of your expected outcome, and how you arrived at hat?
    To attach a file to your post,
    click advanced (next to quick post),
    scroll down until you see "manage file",
    click that and select "add files" (top right corner).
    click "select files" find your file, click "open" click "upload" click 'done" bottom right. click "submit reply"

    Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.
    You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)

    Re: Analyzing Results Data

    Here is a small sample size of my worksheet. The bottom part of the sheet is the "winner" and rank from each column. Then at the top I count how many 1st,2nd, 3rd ect.. for each column. I want a good way of "weighting" the columns to more accurate predict the outcome. I dont even know if this is a good way of doing it, its just what I have come up with so far.

    Not sure I ubderstand what you mean by "weighted"? But is you sum all the "1st places", you get 149, then divide col1 qty with that, you get a 3% change id being N 1 in col1. So you could change your table formula to this...
    =COUNTIF(B$15:B$59,$A2)/COUNTIF($B$15:$P$59,1)
    copied down and across. Format to %
