    Formulas for pinochle score sheet

    I'm trying to create a score sheet for pinochle to use in Excel. The online formulas don't work properly.
    I've attached an example of scoring and what I'd like the formulas to do.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Re: Formulas for pinochle score sheet

    Welcome to the forum.

    This:

    =IF(B7+B8>B6,B7+B8,-B6)

    and this:

    =IF(B11+B12>B10,B11+B12,-B10)+B9

    Re: Formulas for pinochle score sheet

    Those formulas worked great, but there is one more adjustment.
    The following works if everyone makes their meld, but if you don't get 10 tricks, you lose your meld. That is the addon needed.
    IF TRICKS (B12) PLUS MELD (B11) ARE GREATER THAN BID (B10), THEN ADD B11, B12 AND B9.
    IF TRICKS (B12) PLUS MELD (B11) ARE LESS THAN BID (B10), THEN ADD NEGATIVE B10 AND B9.

    IF TRICKS ARE LESS THAN 100 (100 IS FINE), THEN DON'T ADD ANYTHING AND BRING PREVIOUS TOTAL DOWN TO B17.

    Additional issue. Okay, those formulas worked but I discovered another issue and can't for the life of me figure out how to create the formula. Everything is explained in the file.
    TIA

    Re: Formulas for pinochle score sheet

    Searching the internet using the search term "excel pinochle score sheet" I see a lot of free score sheets.
    The one from listia.com looks pretty much like the one in the file attached to post #3.
    You may want to try some of them to see if they will do what you want.

    Listia.com is an auction site.
    I did search the internet for solutions, but they were more for score sheets not formulas.
    I got almost all the questions answered by AliGW. The last remaining issue is the one i posted.

    Re: Formulas for pinochle score sheet

    Is the formula shown in cell F41 what you would use for the player that takes the bid and the formula shown in cell F42 what you would use for those that do not?
    If so try pasting the following into cell B42 and dragging the fill handle over to cell D42:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    Re: Formulas for pinochle score sheet

    It's not necessarily who takes the bid. Line 42 is what the actual totals should be. In this case B player (column) didn't make the necessary 200 tricks so goes set the 620. Player D column took the bid in line 43(D43) and that total is correct. However, if you look at D31, the sum of D32 and D33 is equal to D31, therefore the bid is made, but the formula subtracts the bid, and shows up as 2680 when it should read 4180. I found the segment in the formula that involves this, and changed it to
    .....................(IF(SUM(D32:33)=>D31,SUM ...so it now reads:

    =IF(AND(ISNUMBER(D31),D33<200),D30-D31,IF(D33<100,D30,(IF(SUM(D32:D33)>=D31,SUM(D30,D32:D33),D30-D31))))

    That formula replicated throughout the total lines brings the score correct with my paper scoresheet.
    Thanks to all.
