At our golf course, I have a spreadsheet that takes two people and matches them against two other people. It will calculate their net scores on a hole (if one person's handicap is 2, then the two hardest holes, it will take the gross score and convert it to a net score) and then the bet is called and it lets me know what team won over 18 holes.

What I want to do is a version called "two down automatics" where if Player A wins the first hole, he is one up, if he wins the next hole, he is 2 up and then the "press" (a press is a new bet starting because the person lost two holes before winning a hole) starts and he becomes 2 & 0; if Player A wins the next hole, he is now up 3 & 1. However, if Player A loses the third hole, the match is now (Player A 1/-1).

It is hard to figure out the formula in the event that the bet goes back and forth because each time you reach "2" in a bet, it adds a new bet to track. So if Player A wins the first five holes, and loses holes 6 through 9, he will be:
Hole 1: 1up
Hole 2: 2&0
Hole 3: 3&1
Hole 4: 4/2/0
Hole 5: 5/3/1
Hole 6: 4/2/0
Hole 7: 3/1/-1
Hole 8: 2/0/-2/0
Hole 9: 1/-1/-3/-1 and player B wins two plays (the 1 and -1 cancel each other out).

It would be the same process for the back nine holes too.

Would this be too difficult of a formula to set up? When I've looked at it, I have tried to use nine separate formulas to look at the previous bet and determine how to score the next one based on the contents of the two cells (Player A and Player B).

Thanks,
mike

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
