SNG Recordkeeping (problems w/Aleo's spreadsheet)

elonkra · #1 03-02-2005, 12:34 AM

I posted this in the other thread, but I'm not sure anyone's gonna get to it, and dammit, I'm just selfish like that.

I finally got Aleo's spreadsheet to open (I don't have Excel but downloaded some freeware/shareware ["OpenOffice"]), but it's an 8.4MB spreadsheet, and in spite of what I thought was a relatively fast computer, it literally takes me about 15 minutes to open the file, as well as a considerable amount of time to make changes in the individual cells.

So my question is this: Is there anything out there that's a little smaller that I can use? Pokercharts didn't look particularly attractive, and I'm not looking for anything spectacular.

I don't use the latest version. Try one of the earlier ones that is not quite as big. I have 0 problems with the one I use, and I have a dinosaur computer.

Ok, that made me laugh.

Thanks, I guess I'll go the trial and error route, unless you happen to have a direct link [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

You can make your own, although it won't be nearly as complete.

I had to quit using Aleo's spreadsheet, because it wasn't calculating the stats correctly. I have no idea why. So, I designed my own crappy version. Works for me.

Here's a simple spreadsheet I use to track my SnGs and MTTs:

I'd appreciate it if an Excel wiz could help me automate the cells a bit more.

Thanks man, does that thing do any of the math for me? I'm gonna check it out a little more thoroughly later.

It does all the math. Many of the cells automatically fill themselves once you enter the basic data. For a few of the cells you have to cut and paste the formulas from the above rows. I should point out that the SnG section is tailored for 10-seat SnGs where 1st place pays 50%, 2nd 30%, and 3rd 20%. It would be easy enough to modify the formula for fewer seats.
