    Using Excel as a racing Pigeon Timing system

    Good day, Everyone

    Would you kindly assist me with formulas to populate the fields in my attached sheet.
    Please note the sheet will receive a code from an RFID chip on a pigeons foot, once the code s]is received from the e-ring excel needs to identify the pigeon and calculate the speed based on the release time and the arrival time with the distance shown on the sheet.

    I have attempted to enter the formulas but i am very bad with VB...

    The results I want to obtain is that excel recognize the
    Ering number and mstch it with the data in the pigeon data sheet..it must calculate speed based on the release time in the clocking sheet and display under km per hour and velocity is meter per minute.
    I assume that excel can populate the fields in the clocking sheet once the rfid is scaned

    I hope you can help or guide me

    Thank you
    Owen

    Re: Using Excel as a racing Pigeon Timing system

    Hi. You did not tell us your expected results, or where to look in which sheet. At a guess:

    =VLOOKUP(B8,ERing!A:B,2,FALSE)

    in Clocking sheet, C8

    Hi Kennedy

    I updated my querry...basically the sheet must act as a timer..that display results in the clocking sheet..the pigeon data sheet will have the pigeon information..so once the rfid ring is scaned excel must use the current system time and calculate the speed based on the release time and distance entered in the clocking sheet.

    Thank you for replying and pointing out the short commings of my request..I am learning still.

    Re: Using Excel as a racing Pigeon Timing system

    I have attached an adaption of a schools cross country logging/timing app that I produced some months ago.
    I am not familiar with the technicalities of pigeon racing so it may need further enhancement.
    It is all VBA/macro driven - there are no on sheet formula.
    First fill in the 'entrants' page - press 'transfer' - this loads the 'timing' page - at present it only caters for a 'mass' start.

    Good day, Torachan
    Please see the attached second draft is how far, I came please note that I will try your sheet and see if it will work on the same concept as mine with the RFID ring or e-ring.

    Re: Using Excel as a racing Pigeon Timing system

    Good day, Kennedy

    Please see the attached the second draft, sheets, please see the comments on the sheet named clocking sheet, this is the sheet where I have problems, one is the speed does not update when I enter another e-ring number and also the issue is that each time I change or add another e-ring number it also update the arrival time of the previous pigeons.
    If you check each column now have a comment that explain it.
    The short of it is that I cannot get the speed correct and the time is updating previous arrivals as well
    I hope you can guide or help me.

    Re: Using Excel as a racing Pigeon Timing system

    I replaced the formula in th epruple cells to hide the errors, and to make the formula fully draggabale across and dnown:
    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP($B8,ERing!$A:$E,1+COLUMNS($C8:C8),FALSE),"")

    In G8, copied down, I used this. But first, you have to go to File/Options/Formulas/Enable Iterative calculations
    =IF(B8="","",IF(G8="",NOW(),G8))

    the formuale in the yellow-ish cells have been tidied up to enable them to be copied down the columns and hide error messages.

    So. Add an RFID number in B8, then wait a few seconds and then in B9, etc.

    Thank you, Glenn
    I apologies for using your surname, I meant no disrespect.
    I appreciate the assistance and have tested it as you advised, this is exactly what I wanted, now I can see why you have so much green bars, indeed you are an expert and once again, I appreciate your time you shared assisting me.
    I will now test it with the pigeons and do a few short flights.

    Regards,
