    Help with score predictor game

    Hi Clever People

    Im very new to excel formulas(3 days) and I need some help.
    I want to create a score prediction spreadsheet that calculates the following parameters

    4 Points for exact score
    3 Points for predicting a draw
    2 Points for Correct result closest to score
    1 Point for wrong result closest to score

    So far I've worked exact score and draw, Ive even managed to work out ranking but nesting margins to this has me stumped

    This is what I came up with so far

    =IF(COUNT($N$8:$O$8;P13:R13)=4;IF(AND($N$8=P13;$O$8=R13);4;IF(OR(AND($N$8>$O$8;P13>R13);AND(R13>P13;$O$8>$N$8);AND(R13=P13;$O$8=$N$8));3;0));"")

    Ive been at this for hours.

    Any help would be greatly appreciatedpredictor example.xlsx

    What are your expected results, calculated manually?

    Re: Help with score predictor game

    That's a formula - I asked for expected results (i.e.values) calculated manually.

    If you already have a formula, then why do you need help? Very confusing ...

    I'll try to help if you provide what I've asked for.

    Re: Help with score predictor game

    I would like to add to my existing formula. I want it to also calculate the closest margin and assign a score of 2points.
    Example: if the score is 21-15 then the margin would be 6

    The player chose 20- 16 thus the margin is 4
    second player chose 21-15 thus the margin is 5

    In this example player two is closest to the margin and therefore is awarded 2 points

    However if no one predicts the correct result, eg score was 15-21(margin -6)

    then player 1 would be closest to the score and will be awarded 1 point

    Hope this makes sense

    Re: Help with score predictor game

    Your explanation seems to bear no resemblance to what is in your sheet. I cannot see 20-16 ANYWHERE in the sheet.

    Please repost the file, showing WHAT you want to see WHERE you want to see it and explan HOW you (manually) derived the expected results.

    Just looked - I concur with Glenn.

    You are leaving far too much to our imagination, and sadly, wa are not clairvoyant.
