WI v PAK Test FL

[meninblue]

I am asking because i copy paste which is stupid work actually as i think excel offers lot more features and this time wasting manual work can be avoided. But i dont know the method of avoiding those missing players when i enter individual player scores.

What i want to do in my next FL is that i enter batting, fielding , bowling scores and using total formula to calculate total points. Once the player totals are ready, i will mark Not playing or fill color in cell against players who are not playing. The formula should be such that the excel sheet misses out the player marked not playing or colored cell and adds player scores against the remaining 5 players automatically. Then it becomes lot simpler.

Think excel must be capable of this as the requirement is basic and excel is much more advanced.

what i do is copy and paste the formula for the player's total from the match table into the FL team, so for players that are inactive there is nothing to copy over and just gets registered as a zero, it probably means a bit more copy and pasting than it could but once its done after the teams are confirmed everything else happens automatically

google docs is a bit more limited than excel, if i was using excel i think i could make it a bit slicker

if this was something i was doing all the time i would set something up in a database programme like Access but thats a bit of overkill for FLs with 10-20 people playing

Rich posts the table on the site. Surely that's good enough?

Not that anyone asked me.

Knowing what the players individual scores are give a better chance to check errors which occasionally arise and if the info is easy to post why not post it. DFM has multiple FL's running at the same time and he has no problem with it.

you can see what the individual player scores are and how the total score is arrived at on an innings by innings basis if you bothered to look

i look forward to your comprehensive scoring from now on tho

I made simple request and rich reacted badly so don't blame me. If rich hasn't emptied his recycle bin the spreadsheet is still available.

and i explained that the information you were asking for was all there in black and white, and in far more detail than a simple copy and paste would be but you were either too stubborn or too stupid to work out where it was

[hopeforthebest]

Rich could you please publish individual player scores fore each game as I find your spreadsheet impossible to understand.

That is hardly an insulting request is it?????

Well now I'm the villain of this stupid exercise I'm quitting and you'll have no from me.

and i tried to help you to find the information you were looking for, information that i repeat was there in detail on an innings by innings basis, and all i got was a demand that i do it the way you wanted me to

[Arthur Crabtree]

I'll finish it off.

In a spirit of peace and rapprochement!

well done Arthur, and thank you. Hope you have made an issue out of something becausee you are too stubborn or clueless, leave it up to you to decide which, to check something for yourself, Rich i hope you re-consider quitting doing FL's, because you do run them well

not sure if its a combination of toothache, lack of sleep and me being a generally grumpy b@stard at the best of times but just had enough today

i know what you mean trust me, but there was no need for hope to have moaned, therefore think anyone would be pissed off tbh
