Find names & results in a list and tally them up

[Bender1964]

Hi, first timer on this site. I run a local darts comp here in Australia, and 99% of what we do uses an Excel spreadsheet. We score on Excel, and also keep a running tally of the current seasons wins and losses by players to give us a ranked table. We have many seasons of data available in the form of an all seasons combined results table which lists the 2 players per games names side by side in columns and the points they scored in that game in the next 2 columns. What I would like to achieve is to sort through the table of results to produce a running total of wins and losses for each player against other particular players. This would allow us to know who has the best results against certain players etc.

I have attached a very small screenshot of our historical table. As per the attached table, the players names are in columns A & B, and the score for player 1 is in column C, and the score for player 2 is in column D. As an example, I would like to search through that table to find out how many times Dave Gibson has played Noel McCudden. This would give me a game total between the 2 players. I would then like to search through the sorted results to see how many times in these sorted games was Dave Gibson's score greater than 0 (greater than 0 is a win). This would then provide total games played between the 2 players, and a winning % for both of them against each other. I would then roll this out across all players.

Any help or suggestions are appreciated. I have been trying INDEX & MATCH, but I really don't understand it well enough. I have enough issues with VLOOKUP !!

Thanks Peter

You can use a Sumproduct formula, to count two players meeting. By example: =SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$30=G2)*($B$2:$B$30=H2)+($A$2:$A$30=H2)*($B$2:$B$30=G2))
Where I have listed Players name in Column G and H, and do the count there!
But it would be better, if you use the function XL2BB to upload the data set.

Hi Ebea, thanks for the swift reply. I'll give it a go and let you know how I went.

Time for bed over here. Thanks Peter

Hi all,

Ebea, I tried your formula and it worked perfectly for counting how many times 2 players had played each other. I downloaded xl2bb and have attached a better sample of my data.

So, an example of what I'm trying to achieve is as follows: If I calculate that player A has played player B 7 times. I want to know how many times player A has beaten player B, which would be if his score was greater than 0. Player names are in column A & B, while player A's score is in column C and player B's score is in column D.

So my end result table would be a list of all possible combinations of games played (A vs B, A vs C, A vs D, B vs C and so on), with a total for each of those games, and number of wins each.

Thanks in advance Peter

Sheet1

 

[ebea]

I have made an example, with statistic, and results on a sheet. There you will find formulas, and a way to do it. If it's so, you want to set it up, I don't know. But I upload the file (in Link below), and you can play around with that. I think you can see in the file, how it all works. Else just ask!

I don't know if you downloaded the File, but I have updated the files on Dropbox, with small changes. So try download the latest File!

 

[Bender1964]

Hi Ebea, thanks again for your quick response. I really appreciate the time you have put into this. An example of what I need is as follows, using my data as the source:

Your spreadsheet shows Mick Hayward and Clark Joyce meeting 4 times. I would like to know the overall results of those 4 games. That is, how many has Mick won, and therefore how many Clark has won. The aim of this is to (a) have a career summary of all games won or lost (which your spreadsheet does really well) and (b) how each player has fared in games against each player.

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks Peter

 

[ebea]

I will take a look at it, and send a new file to Dropbox. But it's a bit difficult to know, how you want to set up the structure in the Sheets you actualla use, vs the sheet design I have made. So if you have an idea by yourself, then send a note about it (or maybe a sheet). Should all this statistic be on a new sheet, or, and so on!

Please do do answer questions simply by uploading a file and providing a link. Refer to #4 (especially the last two paragraphs) of the Forum Rules

Providing a file & link is acceptable as additional support for an answer but it should not be the answer, which should appear in the thread as per rule 4.


@Bender1964
Are you specifically looking for a formula solution or macro solution? If you are looking for a formula solution but it doesn't seem reasonably feasible, would a macro solution be acceptable.

While I think I know what you are after, I am not certain. It would be helpful if you created a much smaller sample than post 4 and included the expected results (& post again with XL2BB) so that we can confirm exactly what you want and how you want it to appear. I think that is what ebea is also asking in post 8.

I'm aware of the forum rules, but the Sheet was in a size, that I found it not to fit into the windows here in Forum. But I will remember, that
