Hi

Iv created a spreadsheet on the stats of the english football league for my A-level ICT project. Most of it works fine but iv had two problems which i really need help with. They are:

A:Iv made a sheet of the leagues top goal scorers which shows the players name, the team which they play for and the goals scored in different championships all sperated in to different columns. All the players names are listed in a combo boxes.

On the next sheet i have a long list of every player in the whole league (which the combo boxes are linked to) with the team which they play for in a seperate column.

Question: What i would like to do is when i select a player from the combo box is for his team to appear automaticly in the team colomn just next to it. Any idea's?

B:I have also created fixtures and results pages (each on different sheets). The fixtures page is basicly made up of two columns with combo boxes of the teams available. The results sheet looks nearly the same but without the combo boxes, i have also linked every combo box on the fixtures sheet to one of the seperate cells in the results sheet.

E.g. If i select a team from b1 combo box (fixtures sheet) it will copy that in to b1 of the results sheet.

Question:I need an =IF formula which will check the whole two columns for duplicate teams. Any idea on how to do this which will work for both columns, i tried it and it only worked for the rows.

Thanks

After suffering the same kind of stress in an ICT project similar to yours I'm sure I can offer some advice.

Basically when an option is selected from a combo box an outcome number is displayed in the cell you designated in the combo box creation window. If you set up a list of all the teams and their details with a column to the left with individual numbers in.

The next obvious step is to do a VLOOKUP on the outcome of your cell and relate it to your overall table, eg

=vlookup(combobox output cell,information list,column which data is in, false)

Reply further if you need further assistance I'm always at hand (nearly anyway)
