    World Cup Predictions Table - LOOKUP and IF statements

    Hi All,

    I offered to put this on here for my work colleague who is trying to do a predictions league for the up and coming world cup.

    Problem is as follows.

    The 'WC-2014-EntrySheet' is the main sheet where the actual scores are recorded for the games. The 'Player' sheets are for the individual players to record their predictions (i have filled them out on 'player 1' tab. At the moment my colleague will have to compare the players predictions and the actual results and type in 'Y' under the 5 different point columns ( i have done the first 3 as an example).

    Is there a way for the sheet to automatically fill in the points for each player?

    Point structure is:

    Wrong Outcome = -10 points
    Correct outcome but wrong score = 10 points
    Correct outcome with Correct goal difference = 15 points
    Correct Draw but wrong score = 20 points
    Completely Correct result = 30 points

    The sheet will then populate the second round table with the names of the teams that go through (column BM), once score are entered for this round then it will populate the third round table and so on. However we're not sure on the best way to calculate the points....any suggestions?

    Any help would be fantastic

    Thanks

    See attached file. I've put the formulae in Player1 sheet and copied down, so you can use this as a template for other players. Note if any scores are missing, from either the tracking sheet or the player's sheet, then you get blanks.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks for your help Pete,

    It's pretty much working, the only problem is that in some occasions the outcomes are true for more than one condition. How can the formula ignore the lower scoring condition? I have re-attached the sheet showing the problem.

    Many thanks

    Sam
