    New to excel, need some advice

    Hey guys, I'm sure I'm probably posting in the wrong place and asking something that may have been covered a million times, but I'm new to all this and can't even begin to figure out what I need to search for. I have an issue and I hope I can get some help with it. Here is the problem. I run a fantasy fight league for MMA on another forum I frequent and need help making things a LOT easier. We match up member against member and the object of the game is for the players to pick who they think will win an upcoming fight, how they win and what round they win in. I'm looking for a way to quickly input the results without having to go through each members picks. Here is an example of what the game looks like...

    \1

    As you can see both members chose different fighters and different outcomes. I'd like to have a way to make it so I can input the results somewhere and if they chose the right fighter, method and round then it would give everyone the points they deserve.

    Right now I manually input the points beside the fighter, method and round and it tallies up the points to the right. Is there an easier way to do this. Anything would be easier than having to type it all for every member lol.

    Once again, sorry if I posted in the wrong place or didn't provide any info that is needed. Let me know what I need to add if I need to.

    Like I said, I don't even know how to begin, I don't know the terms I'm looking for, so I don't know how the title should be worded.

    Describe what you want to do.

    Seems to me you want to automate the data input.
