    Question How to count cricket overs?

    Hii,

    Request to help me with a formula for counting overs in a cricket match.

    If 8 balls are delivered it should show as 1.2 overs.

    NO & WIDE should not be counted.

    Sample excel file attached.

    Regards
    Tushar

    Re: How to count cricket overs?

    8 balls would be 1.33 overs.

    =balls delivered/6

    Re: How to count cricket overs?

    Thanks Jason,

    for your reply.

    the given equation shows (8/1.33=6.02)
    it should show as 1.2.

    Can you pls suggest any other formula.

    Regards
    Tushar

    I suggested =balls delivered/6 which = 1.33, you have the formula backwards.

    If you think that the result should be 1.2 could you please explain how you get from 8 to 1.2 when an over consists of 6 'legal' balls?

    Please note, excel I understand, cricket I do not understand, I based my suggestion on information I found on google.

    Re: How to count cricket overs?

    Ok Jason,

    In cricket after 6 'legal' balls it is counted s 1 over, therefore after 8 legal balls it should be 1.2 overs.

    Hope this info may help you.

    Re: How to count cricket overs?

    So you want Overs and balls expressed as decimal, not an actual decimal value?

    For example, no overs and 5 balls would be 0.5

    Ok, I can't see how you arrive at 16 from your example though. The numbers in G6 to I13 add up to 26.

    Try this one

    For example, no overs and 5 balls would be 0.5, after 0.6 balls it shd show as 1 over, then after one more ball it should show as 1.1, 1.2,1.3,1.4,1.5,2,2.1,2.2, continue. It shd not count "NO & WIDE".

    Re: How to count cricket overs?

    Good Morning Jason

    This formula shows the total value of all cells when we enter further. I need to count as one over of 0.6 balls. The result on these ball may be 1 run, 3 runs, 2 runs, 4 runs, OUT, 6 runs. This shd be count as 0.6 ball which should b shown as 1 over. After 0.7 ball it shd show as 1.1 over & continue when it is 1.6 balls (1 over & 0.6 balls) it shd show as 2 overs.

    Re: How to count cricket overs?

    As far as I can see, the formula does what you are asking for.

    There is nothing that tells me what the numbers in G6 to I13 mean so I have assumed that they are all balls delivered, a total of 26 balls, or 4.2 overs which is the result that I get from the formula.

    If some of those numbers are not balls bowled then you need to tell us what each of the numbers refers to.

    =INT(COUNT(B3:D9)/6)&"."&MOD(COUNT(B3:D9),6)

    1 + 2 = 3 or 0.3 overs.
    1 + 2 + 4 = 7 or 1.1 overs.

    The formula is correct based on the information you have provided.

    Re: How to count cricket overs?

    Thanks Glenn & Jacob,

    Good Morning

    Glenn the formula works only for numbers it does not count the ball on which wicket is fallen "WKT".

    It should count the cell in which WKT in entered.

    Re: How to count cricket overs?

    Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
    The below formula given counts all the cells, but if we enter "WKT" in any cell.
    The cell is not counted.

    =INT(COUNT(B3:D8)/6)&"."&MOD(COUNT(B3:D8),6)

    You can also refer Sheet2 of sample sheet "F2".

    Re: How to count cricket overs?

    In YOUR attached example (sheet 2) there are 11 "valid" balls. Correct? So what is the expected answer: 1.5 or something else?

    the above gives 1.5

    Re: How to count cricket overs?

    Hey all, I'm looking to find an overs formula with just 2 different cells. Just say one cell (B3) says 1.4 and the other (B41) says 1.4. I'm looking for it to add up to 3.2 Overs.

    I have a formula with this =INT(SUMPRODUCT(F87:F92*10-INT(F87:F92)*4)/6)+MOD(SUMPRODUCT(F87:F92*10-INT(F87:F92)*4),6)/10

    So with this formula I can only add more than 2 cells, but I only want to add 2 separate cells with the right out come. For some reason I just can't do it. I'm new to the MOD and INT functions, and I've tried taking out SUMPRODUCT. I only want to use + instead of :

    Thanks.

    Hello

    I checked the formula =INT(COUNT($G$6:$I$13)/6)+(MOD(COUNT($G$6:$I$13),6)/10)

    But it does not count WKT as a ball. What can be added to count WKT as legal ball in the over?

    I have checked the file. Actually you are going down. See bowler name, every bowler has six cells in front of it. every cell is representing one ball.
    Six balls equal to One over
    so when six balls have been bowled the score board should turn to 1, 2 or 3 and so on. Similarly, 21 balls mean 3 complete overs and 3 balls, which should be written as 3.3 instead of 3.5 (which, in cricket means 3 overs and five balls)

    I have a clue but that will change after 30 overs.
    0.66 = one ball
    but if you keep continuing with that the 0.02 difference will make a one ball error after 25 overs where 25 x 0.02 will become 0.5 and it will automatically round offed to 1 ball.

    I hope I have defined it in detail

    Please amend the typo in your forum profile (360 should be 365). Thanks.

    Re: How to count cricket overs?

    I am looking for the formula to convert the number of bowled balls into overs.
    Unfortunately all the formulas shown do not work.
    Who can help me with this, Thank you in advance

    Example: bowler bowled 99 balls, how can I convert this into 16.3 overs
