    Formated as table and now to the interpret results

    (this may be in the wrong category, apologies couldn't find the "Non-excel general queries")

    Hi there,

    I'm now using tables in Excel more often but now I need help interpreting results from my table. For example, my Excel table lists home and away team percentages for each game. For example, if Team A has a home winning % of 50% and Team B has an away winning percentage of 30% then Team A has a 20% overall winning advantage (50% - 30% = 20%).

    My problem is where do I place a "range" on my data so to get an accurate prediction? Using the example above of 20% winning advantage (Team A over Team B), do I create a range of 20% to 25% or 20% to 30% or 15% to 20% etc ??

    My problem is how do I interpret this data? Let's say there are 15 games over a specific period (i.e. week), and let's say in every 15 games the home team has a 20% winning advantage over the away team what should the 'start value' and 'end value' range be? How do I group the results? Normally the higher the winning advantage % the more likely a team will win and vice versa.

    Do I analyse data ranges between:

    15% to 20% ?
    15% to 25% ?
    20% to 25% ?
    20% to 30% ?

    If you could attach a sample workbook, I can try to help you out.

    It is difficult to visualize without the sample data.

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window (or use the paperclip icon).
    Cheers!

    Re: Formated as table and now to the interpret results

    I uploaded a sample spreadsheet. I have highlighted some data for you to look at (highlighted light blue). As you can see in the data range it starts from
    20.22% (Difference % column) and ends at 24.18% (Difference % column). From within this range, there were 6 games played and of those 6 games Team A won once
    and Team B won 5 games (see next right column: Your Team won?). The results could be interpreted as Team A won 1 game (between 20% to 24.99%) which is 17% win rate
    between this range and Team B won 5 games (between 20% to 24.99%) which is 83% win rate. However, if I group the data range from 20.22% to 29.99% Team A won 4 games and Team B won 4 games (total 8 games). Now the win percentage for Team A is 50% and Team B is 50%. So now I can't decide which team has the higher chance of winning? Now you see how the
    data results changes when I increased the range from 20%-24.99% to 20%-29.99%. The problem is identifying the core cluster % group.....i.e. 20%-24.99% or 20%-29.99% etc

    My question is: From which cluster of "Difference %" ranges do I group the results from? If I group the percentages in the Difference % column you can see many
    different ranges (-12.53% to 39.61% - lowest to highest). From the data I mentioned above (i.e. 20.22% to 24.18% which is effectively 20% to 24.99%) what's the best
    way to analyse this data?


    Possible cluster group ranges below:
    15% to 20% ?
    20% to 25% ?
    25% to 30% ?
    20% to 30% ?

    I'm trying to work out if Team A or Team B has a higher chance of winning their matches? (just assume Team A and Team B are all different teams for each line).

    Re: Formated as table and now to the interpret results

    I think you should group it like this

    20% to 24.99%

    Coz the lower bound will always be 0% & Upper Bound as 100%.

    I feel it is a more logical way.

    I would have both values 20% & 24.99% in 2 different cells and derive the formula accordingly.

    Just change the Inpus and the formula should return the right answer.

    Thank you for your help. I will group the results using 5% increments (i.e. 10% to 14.99%, 15% to 19.99%, 20% to 24.99% etc...

    Need more help on same topic please...

    I've been doing my own analytics but I need "additional eyes" to view my data.

    Please view my spreadsheet and write a formula/algorithm (optional) or just interpret the results using any angle. Please note the 'solid green bars' under "Your Team
    Won?" are home team wins and the 'solid red bars' under "Your Team Won?" are home team losses.

    From my own analytics, the greater the difference % (particularly over 25% difference) the home team has 83% winning chance over the away team. This is taken from
    5 wins out of 6 games over 25% under the "Your Team Won" column. That's the very basic analytics I deduced from this data. *Please see "Your Team Won?" column* for
    what I mean. I'm hoping someone else can see "extra data" or something I'm not seeing.

    One part of the data is hard for me to analyse. All the results below 25% can be a minefield. Sometimes a top team that has 10% winning chance and is playing at home
    will win 9/10 home games compared with a poor/average team who has a 10% winning chance and is playing at home. The top team in this instance simply has a better team, coach
    , skills than the poor/average team that lacks the aforementioned criteria.

    I know this spreadsheet isn't the be-all-and-end-all but I want to analyse it a little bit more.....and get others to analyze it too.....
