Find the closest number without going over - again

[michael8101]

I realize this question has been asked numerous times and I've gone through the posts but I've run into an instance where the posted solutions to finding the closest number without going over did not worked.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

I run an office NFL Football Pool. The pool is pretty simple: 50 players who, weekly, pick a team to win and guess the total points scored in one pre-determined game to be used as a tie-breaker. The spreadsheet I use does some simple functions and conditional formatting the highlight everyone who picks the winning team and calculates a running score to determine (rank) who has pick the most winners for the week. In the case of a tie (which is very common), the player(s) who comes closest to the score but without going over is the winner. In the event everyone in tie-breaker goes over, then the person with the highest tie-breaker score wins. Pretty simple.<o></o>
<o></o>
I found a solution to picking the closest number without going over on this board and have use it through last year's season. One week, however, the formula did not pick the correct winner. So far, it is the only case I have found that the formula does not pick the correct winner and I have not been able to find a formula that works though I have played with a variety of MINs, MAXs, VLOOKUPs, COUNTIFs, LARGEs, and SMALLs to no avail. I turn to you, the Experts.<o></o>
<o></o>
Without posting the entire spreadsheet, here is the data:<o></o>
<o></o>
<o></o>
Tie-Breaker Guess # of Wins Rank
30 11 1
46 11 1
44 11 1
46 11 1
<o></o>
These 4 players are tied for the week with each having 11 wins. Based on their wins, each are in 1<SUP>st</SUP> place as they go into the tie-breaker. For that week, the tie breaker score was 45. In my simple mind, that would make the person making the tie-breaker guess of 44 as the winner (closest without going over).
Up until that week, the formula MIN(IF(X6:X55>=U5,X6:X55,MAX(X6:X55))) (as an array) worked fine. On this occasion, it picked the winner as the 2 people having a score of 46. (To reemphasize, the guess of 46 is over the tie-breaker score of 45). As I’ve indicated, I have tried all kind of the formulas and cannot seem to find one that works in all scenarios. Is there a formula that will work?

Do these look right?

The array formula in F2 and down is

=IF(AND(A2:D2>E2), MAX(A2:D2), MAX(IF(A2:D2<=E2, A2:D2)))

Oh My Gosh!! You are a lot closer than I've been able to get. If the tie-breaker score is less than anyone's guess, your formula picks the person with the highest guess. Naturally, it should be the person with the lowest guess.

Thanks for your help!

In the event everyone in tie-breaker goes over, then the person with the highest tie-breaker score wins. Pretty simple.

If the tie-breaker score is less than anyone's guess, your formula picks the person with the highest guess. Naturally, it should be the person with the lowest guess.

I can't reconcile those two statements ...

I apologize for the confusion.

"In the event everyone in tie-breaker goes over, then the person with the highest tie-breaker score wins." Your formula correctly picks the winner in this scenario. If the tie-breaker score, for instance, was 100, then the players with the highest guess, wins.

"If the tie-breaker score is less than anyone's guess, your formula picks the person with the highest guess." In this scenario, the tie-breaker score is lower than every player's guess. For example, the tie-breaker score is 3, then the player(s) with the lowest guess would be the winner.

Again, thank you for your help!
