    Monthly Lotto Tracker

    Hi All
    I'm managing a lotto pool at work, and I'm looking or a little help in completing my tracker. I've seen spreadsheets that track single drawings using conditional formatting highlight the winning numbers in multiple rows of user numbers. this is perfect and I've been able to replicate this, however our pool tracks numbers over the course of a month (ranging from 8 - 9 games in a row). so for example lets say there are 12 people in the pool, each of which have their own constant numbers, (12 sets of numbers that do not change for the entire month). How do I turn the weekly tracker I've seen into something that will track our numbers over a series of games?

    here is an example of a weekly tracker that I've seen in the forum that is similar to mine http://www.excelforum.com/excel-gene...-template.html

    Hi

    How many weeks are we talking about bearing in mind that some months have 4 weekly draws others have 5 and how many are in the syndicate.

    Re: Monthly Lotto Tracker

    Thanks for the quick reply Chris
    well, the template I've created is actually set up for the year. I have the 1st tab set up to track everyone's payments and winnings etc for the entire year, and then 12 tabs for each months numbers.
    a little complex perhaps and over the top, I know, but this is what has evolved over the years and why change what works right? what I'm trying to do is to make this as simple as possible with not too much work involved. I want to just populate the numbers in the beginning of the month and the winning numbers after each drawing.
    to answer your question, there would be varying weeks, as you mentioned some months have 4 or 5 weeks. Our lotto draws twice a week, so there is potentially 8-9 games per month.

    I've attached an example of what I've come up with today to perhaps handle the numbers tracking issue, I'm no Excel genius, so I'm sure there is an easier/better way.
    Now if I could only have it calculate the winnings for me, it'll be perfect.......

    Re: Monthly Lotto Tracker

    Hi

    Had a bit of a play not quite the same format as yours. Enter your numbers into the first week, the are automatically copied to the other eight weeks. In the matches column as you can see if three numbers or more its highlighted for you.

    Did I mention my 20% commisssion if you hit the jackpot

    Daytek400,

    Unfortunately you need to post your question in a new thread, it's against the forum rules to post a question in the thread of another user. If you create your own thread, any advice will be tailored to your situation so you should include a description of what you've done and are trying to do. Also, if you feel that this thread is particularly relevant to what you are trying to do, you can surely include a link to it in your new thread.

    Edit: Thanks for removing your question.
