i use Excel to track season points. i know the every simple stuff like Sum and stuff.
for the final season points tally, i have to go in and manually subtract 20% of the lowest scores for each person. i want a formula that will automatically drop those scores based on cell or text color for that cell. i've googled till my eyes are falling out. i've found some stuff, but i just don't know enough about excel to understand it all. i've tried a few examples given w/ no luck. anyone here able to help? |

Glenn - if you want to email it to me at pattersonm at northoaks dot org, I'll be glad to take a look. I'm no savant, but I spend a lot of time with Excel.

I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do, but here are couple suggestions that might help you out.
small - returns the k-th smallest value in a data set min - returns the smallest value in a data set using those tools, you can try some trickery. =SUM(A1:F1)-MIN(A1:F1)*0.2 this would subtract 20% of the smallest score =SUM(A1:F1)-SMALL(A1:F1,1)*0.2 this gives you the same answer as above since the '1' means the smallest value in the list =SUM(A1:F1)-SMALL(A1:F1,1)*0.2-SMALL(A1:F1,2)*0.2 this is an add on to above, it subtracts 20% from the smallest and 2nd smallest event this is how I interpret what you are trying to do, but could be wrong. you should be able to make a slight change to get what you want.

basically we get 5 drops per season. i don't know what the best way to do it would be. i was thinking of just marking the 5 lowest finishes in some way to alow the total less drops to be displayed. if you guys know a way for it to be done w/ no required input from me, let me know.
Matthew - email sent. |
