Hi,

I'm trying to compile a "leaderboard" for our weekly quizzes, which since the start of the pandemic have become our mainstay social activity (and good fun they are too). It's only among friends but can get pretty competitive! I have produced a spreadsheet to record the weekly scores, but want to produce an overall ranking, over time, showing which team has come in which place in a given week (based on the total score for that week).

So the "output" I'm looking to produce shows for a given quiz date basis which team has come 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th (i.e. the actual scores are immaterial - it's only the ranking that matters).

Can anyone please help me on my way? I've tried playing around with pivot tables but am getting mightily confused! Probably a really simple "problem" to solve but I'm not really sure how to go about, and any help would be appreciated! :)

My source data is like this:

Excel Facts

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
I suggest that you update your Account details (or click your user name at the top right of the forum) so helpers always know what Excel version(s) & platform(s) you are using as the best solution often varies by version. (Don’t forget to scroll down & ‘Save’)

For what it's worth, I'll throw this in. It requires some helper columns in T:Z that can be hidden.

Snakehips, Fluff, thank you very much for both your suggested solutions! I have gone for the one suggested by Snakehips, but with a small change. I have changed the ordinal numbers (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th) to just plain numbers (1, 2, 3, 4) and instead of basing the overall ranking (in N2:R2) on the total number of points, I have changed this to:

=COUNTIF(N3:N18,1)*4+COUNTIF(N3:N18,2)*3+COUNTIF(N3:N18,3)*2+COUNTIF(N3:N18,4)

i.e. 4 points for a win, 3 points for 2nd place, 2 points for 3rd place, and 1 point for 4th place.

Can I just ask whether that seems like a "fair" system to get a good idea of who the overall winners are?

Thanks again!

Ah ... I just spotted a flaw in the overall logic in Snakehips suggested solution (or rather, I didn't make the situation clear enough!) Not all teams are present at every quiz, For instance, M&M did not take part on 2021-04-09 and 2021-04-23 but the calculations (in T3:X19) turn this into effectively coming last in the quiz that week and also results in no team being flagged as "hosts" (in N3:R19).

What version of Excel are you using?

I suggest that you update your Account details (or click your user name at the top right of the forum) so helpers always know what Excel version(s) & platform(s) you are using as the best solution often varies by version. (Don’t forget to scroll down & ‘Save’)

Rather than giving 4, 3, 2 & 1 points I would tend to give a bit more weight to them & would also use an average so they are not penalised if they don't play.
