Hi guys. Okay this is a tough one, but probably quite easy for you spreadsheet wizards!

In my new work, me and my colleague are running a 'World Cup Wallchart' Competition. It will be a nightmare to adminsitrate without a spreadsheet. This is where I need your help.

Each entrant will fill in the bbc worldcup wallchart and then hand them in.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sol/shared/spl.../wallchart.pdf

I would like a spreadsheet that allows me to fill in every entrants predictions and then automatically scores the results once I have inputted the final score.

We would like to score on the following.

1 point for predicting the correct result (win,lose,draw)
2 points for predicting the correct score
2 points for predicting the winner of each group seperately (ie 2 points for predicting winner of group A)
2 points for predicting the runner up of each group
5 points for predicting the 3rd place finisher
5 points for predicting the runner-up
10 points for predicting the winner

Help anyone???

Much appreciated.

My friend sent me to this website, he wrote:

If you were to do it in excel I suggest you ask the question here and they will help you.

You will need to use functions such as IF statements

example if you put the predicted scores in say Column D Row 5 and the actual score say 2. 0 in Column E row 5 then in Column F row 5 you could put =IF(D5=E5,2,0) then that would put in your 2 points auto if correct and 0 points if not.

Once you understand the concept its not too difficult.
You would have to put the group tables in manually and use the vlookup formula to sort the other equations.

Bit confusing but hope it can set you on the way.

makes no sense to me, can anyone make me one?

Thank you!
 

Excel Facts

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.
There just basic wallchart.

I need to be able to input peoples predictions and then enter the correct result and let the spreadsheet work out the points for me!

can anyone build one for me!!!???
