    Race points

    Hi guys I have another one....I had a formula that worked but we have changed it a little and now the set up doesnt work with my forumla.

    Racers attend 7 races and their total points is based on the best 5 out of 7 plus bonus points.

    My old spreadsheet had the TOTAL points for each race. This new one has the breakdown of the points...

    This is my old formula =SUMPRODUCT(--(LARGE(C3:I3,{1,2,3,4,5})))+(J3+K3+L3)

    J3, K3 and L3 use to be my bonus points now its just one cell.

    Here is the spreadsheet

    Re: Race points

    It's not clear to me what the result should be. Do you want a formula for Z3 copied down? Which columns do you take the values from - Q, E or S?

    A formula like this in Z3 copied down will give you the 5 largest E values + the bonus

    =SUM(LARGE(IF(D$2:X$2="E",D3:X3),{1,2,3,4,5}))+Y3

    confirmed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER

    Re: Race points

    Ok the way that it needs to work is that the total points should be the best 5 out of 7 event + the bonus point colum so the total in Z3 for racer 1 should include
    The totals from Race 1, Race 2, Race 3, Race 4, Race 5 and the bonus points so his final total would be 2730.
    I need the total for each race which includes Q,E and S.

    Make sense?

    Re: Race points

    Perhaps then:

    Z3:
    =SUM(LARGE(SUBTOTAL(9,OFFSET($D3:$F3,0,{0,3,6,9,12,15,18})),{1,2,3,4,5}),Y3)
    copied down

    Re: Race points

    I need some help editing this spreadsheet again.

    The first formula works fabulous.

    I just need two more.

    The formula in the season total colum already takes away a racers WORST (or lowest points) races. I just need that amount of the WORST races to show up in the Dropped Races Column.

    The other thing I need is a formula for the bonus point column.
    Basically the way it works is like this...if you attend 5 races you get 25 points if you attend 6 you get an additional 50 and if you attend all 7 you get an additional 100 for a total of 175. Is there a way to write a formula that says if you get points in the "S" column under the races that it will count them and add that number in autmatically? So say for racer 1 he should have 75 points already in the bonus field and once I add in points for race 7 in should change to 175.
    Does that make sense?

    I am assuming you require backwards compatibility with XL2003 and so am ignoring COUNTIFS

    W3:
    =LOOKUP(COUNT(D3,G3,J3,M3,P3,S3,V3),{0,5,6,7},{0,25,75,175})
    copied down

    Given the Total Column is inclusive of Bonus (calculated above) you need to discount the Bonus from your calculation so:

    =SUM(B3:V3)-Y3+W3
    copied down
    If you wish to show Drop as a negative then:

    =Y3-W3-SUM(B3:V3)
    copied down
