Greg: Unhide rows 18 through 28 and look in columns D:G. I put 10 random numbers in the first column and the digits 0-9 in the second column. Then I use the LARGE function to find the largest to the smallest rand numbers and the corresponding digits.

This is a must in Packerland. I goofed around trying to write the logic for =randbetween(0,9) and make it work so as to show a discreet number in each box of the row/col. Gave up and tried to search. This is the best but I don’t understand how it works. Is there some macro or something in this sheet?

Why use a spreadsheet when you can just play football squares online at http://superbowlsquares.org. Easiest and quickest way to fill up your grids, and you can play with friends across the world.

Nikki,
That particular type of pool has to have the 100 boxes. It’s based on the rightmost digit of the scores for each of the quarters and there are exactly 100 possible combinations. People usually do take multiple squares in these pools depending on the “points” per box. If you have ten people, each can take ten boxes. There are many other types of pools (when it comes to gambling, people devise many different ways to throw away their money (although the winners usually think differently)). If you search Google for “Football Pool” you should be able to find a number of them (but most will be based on the 100 box scenario).

do you have to have 100 squares for a card? I know it sounds like an utterly stupid and mathmatically impossible question but I seem to remember being involved in a pool a few years ago that did not have 100 squares. The reason I ask is that we will not have enough people to fill the 100 squares.

thanks!

After that last comment (and thank you kindly), I realized that while that workbook I posted looked pretty and did a lot of neat things, it still had a number of incomplete routines on it. I've since updated the file (same link as my previous post) and cleaned up (and completed) most everything that needed to be done.
Currently it's set up for this years SuperBowl although it may be changed to work with any football game.
In redisigning it, I tried to make provisions for a much more useful version (hopefully before next season). Specifically what I want to do with this is make a single workbook that will work for an entire season. Using additional sheets (and the appropriate coding) it should be possible to create multiple pools (and save them) for an entire season of games.
Suggestions, comments, criticisms, etc. welcomed.
