Help needed to update values please!

[Cookiemonster1]

Hi guys I'm not very good in using excel outside of the usual day-to-day stuff for work and was wondering if someone could possibly give me some help here.

I've got a bit of a thing for football stats and have recently been trying to make a spreadsheet that creates new ranking values for football / soccer teams.

I am using an ELO ranking method and while I understand the general format, I'm trying to create a widget on a spreadsheet that allows me to enter the pre match data and then generate a new value for each team.

There is a comprehensive overview of how it works on wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Football_Elo_Ratings) but I've detailed below that fundamentals of the system.

What I've been trying to make is a widget that allows me to tell it what competition is being played, the ratings of the home and away sides and the final score and for it to give me the new ratings for each side.

I've messed around on my spreadsheets for ages and just can't get it to work properly. Any help would really be appreciated.

Cheers

I think this does the job - but you need to check.
Luckily the reference you gave supplies some worked examples.
I suggest you try some more to test my formulas.
