I’m skeptical that Nebraska is joining the Big 10. The new season promises to be interesting. Wow!

DB: I’m using 2003 too. Make sure Winnerlist is a vertical range, not horizontal.

Hi Dick,

Thank you so much for your quick response to my problem. My Control+Shift+Enter doesn't work for some reason. It maybe because I have Office 2003, not sure but the results to this formula is always 1. I defined a range and named it Winnerlist like you said but always get a 1 as a result. Is there anything else I can do besides going out and getting a later version of Office?

Thanks,

You're Awesome!

Make a range of winners and name it WinnerList. Then this formula will give you a count of the winners.

=SUM(NOT(ISNA(MATCH(B2:G2,WinnerList,FALSE)))*1)

Enter that with Control+Shift+Enter, not just Enter, because it’s an array formula.

I trying to find a formula that will count the number of winning picks per row for the format below. I know this may be asking to much but if we can also determine the winner of the tiebreaker.

Name Gm 1Gm2Gm3Gm4Gm5Tie Breaker
Triple G SDCINTENBALCARNE49
Arty BUFCINTENBALCARNE40
Azzwhooperz SDPITTTENBALNODEN48

Any ideas would most certainly be appreciated.

Thanks so much in advance.

In addition to the above it would be cool to be able to analyze the historical picks and values to predict future behavior. I have the past picks from every week for the last 5 years. If I could do some trending analysis as well that would be fun to make available to the participants.

I am looking for a spreadsheet that will allow me to put in the NFL pool picks for the week with confidence points assigned to each pick and can tell me based on all entrants picks and assigned confidence points which win/loss scenarios would result in a weekly win for each entrant. This would allow me to provide “who should you root for” analysis to my pool patrons. In theory based on the picks that are made, you should be able to determine which entries can actually win (not tie) for the week before a single game is played. Does this exist?
