    Multiple formulas needed for March Madness Stats Workbook

    Hi guys. I'm making a workbook for my kid brother who loves March Madness. He's obsessed, it's so cute.

    This is multifaceted so i hope someone can spare a little time to help me answer these questions. Thanks in advance!

    Problem #1

    In the upset column (B) of page "#1 vs #16 i would like to calculate the total amount of upsets per year based on the data within the range T:AB. If a negative number appears in column AB then i'd like to reflect this in the corresponding cell in Column B.

    My only requirements is that this formula would account for the 4 lines in the T:AB because there are 4 games per year, it's easily duplicated as time goes on and T:AB extends, and finally that the calculation in Column B remains blank and not 0 when no upsets have occurred in a specific year.

    Problem #2
    The range of D:R is just a different layout for any upsets that have occurred in a specific year as depicted in the range T:AB. Let's use the sheet #8 vs #9 as a reference. In 1985 two upsets occurred where a #9 beat a #8. They are highlighted in Red. What i want to D:R to look like is as depicted. I just don't want to manually enter the information in D:R. I want it to appear as an upset is recorded in T:AB. D:R must remain empty until an upset is recorded in T:AB. Upsets may not be recorded consecutively as outlined in the range T4:AB7. There will never be more than 4 games each year, but there can be 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 upsets and finally the upsets that are displayed in D:R must flow consecutively meaning that there may be an upset in T4:AB4, and then in T6:AB6 for the year of 1985 and they need to be displayed in the range D4:F4 & H4:J4 respectively.

    Problem #3
    On the "conference success" page there's a breakdown of each team and their tournament appearances (range C:B). I would like to find out each team's win loss record when playing other teams from a specific conference without manually calculating. As games are recorded in pages #1 vs #16, #2 vs #15, etc the data needs to correspond to range C4:DY354 of the "conference success" page. On the page titled "Team Names" each team has a corresponding conference for reference.

    For example: Albany who is from the "American East" conference has appeared 5 times since 1985. Two times they appeared as a #16 playing against Uconn in 2006 and Florida in 2014. They lost both games. Uconn is in "The American" conference and Florida is the "SEC" Albany has appeared as a #15 one time losing in 2013 to Duke who is from the "ACC" conference; they also appeared as a #14 seed in 2015 losing to Oklahoma who is from the "Big 12" conference. Finally in 2007 they appeared as a #13 and lost to Virginia who is also from the ACC.

    I have manually recorded the losses, but i would prefer a formula to account for the data. My only requirements are that cells in C4:DY354 remain empty if certain teams have not appeared in the tournament or have not competed against specific conferences, such as the case with Albany.

    Problem #4
    Using the page "Seed Success" for discussion, I'm looking for a few formulas.

    Formula 1:
    In Column F, i am looking for the overall win % of the team Albany. I want the answer to display if there are wins present, but remain blank if only losses are present. So if Albany has been in the tournament 5 times and have never won than cell F4 should remain empty. If next year Albany is in the tournament and wins than cell F4 should display 17% (1 win divided by 6 appearances).

    Formula 2:
    In cell I4 I'm looking for the total amount of times Albany has played a #1 seed. Like other situations it should remain empty if they've never played against a number 1 seeded team.

    Formula 3:
    This would be a formula that calculates the total times Albany has beaten a #1 seeded team. It too would have to remain blank if 0. The result would appear in cell J4.

    Formula 4:
    The would be a formula that calculates the total times Albany has lost against a #1 seeded team. It too would have to remain blank if 0. The result would appear in cell K4.

    Formula 5:
    Very similar to the formula #1 in Cell F4, but not accounting for total overall win %, but only win % against number 1 seeded teams.

    Problem #5
    Sheet 4 is a view of a drop down table. From all the data contained in all pages of this workbook i would like create a simple drop down table.

    Step 1:
    Pick a team from the drop down list.

    Step 2:
    Pick a conference from a drop down list. Other options would be "Versus" & "Ranking".

    Step 3:
    Pick the category in which i want an answer, such as Wins. If i picked the team North Carolina, the conference SEC, and the answer Wins the result would show many wins North Carolina has had against SEC opponents. If i choose losses than it would display the total amount times North Carolina has lost against SEC teams. Win % would be self explanatory.

    If in step 2 i choose "versus" or "Ranking" instead of "conference" than i would also chose from a drop down list 1-16 and continue on with Step 3. This would display the wins, losses, and win % of Albany vs #1 seeded teams, #2 seeded teams, etc. It would also display the win/loss/win% of Albany based on their own ranking if i choose the option "ranking".

    I hope this makes sense. The file is attached below. Thank you for anyone who takes the time to help.

    Well, you've marked the thread as solved, so most people will just ignore it! That said, what you have presented in your opening post is really off-putting: it feels like an entire project rather than a bit of help to get something working, so yes, I think you may well have been better off taking this one step at a time, or taking the whole thing to the Commercial Services section and offering some financial recompense.

    It seems that you have now started breaking this down into chunks - shall I close this thread?
