    Challenge experts will LOVE!!, can you get the formula??

    Ok MS Excel experts the challenge is set!,

    Say you have a worksheet where you have to post the results
    for 5 ongoing rounds of tennis,
    You have 5 columns representing each round and with these cells a number has been input a for each round (2 for a win, 0 for a draw, 1 for a loss)
    At the end of the five rounds an ongoing weighted score is displayed in column G using a formula, this formula is based on rounds 1-3@10% and 4-5@35% therefore the formula (for Gemma) is:

    =1B*10%+1C*10%+1D*10%+1E*35%+1F*35%

    (obviously given the formula only has relative references it has been dragged down for the other 14 players and displays their ongoing weighted score aswell)

    THE CHALLENGE is to post what the formula would be for the weighting of each individual round using absolute/mixed cell references in Ongoing Weighted Score Field (column G represented by the number with the decimal), looking at the weighting for each round.
    The weightings would be posted at the bottom of each round

    GOOD LUCK!

    Do you mean

    =SUM(B1:B15)*CHOOSE(COLUMN(A1),0.1,0.1,0.1,0.35,0.35)
