Hi Everybody,

I'm trying to figure out the percentage chance my team has of making the playoffs in my league this week. I will make the playoffs if one of the following 3 scenarios happens:


  1. I win (35% chance)
  2. Team A wins (49% chance)
  3. Team B loses (42% chance)

The percentages I listed above is my chance of success. How would I enter this into excel to find out my chance? Again, only 1 of the 3 above situations needs to happen.
