Need some help with Excel
Hola chicos,
I am trying to put together a spreadsheet for tracking my SNG progress. I know most of the basic forumulas in excel, but there is one forumula I cannot find for the certain use I need. I am trying to reference a value from a payout table. For example, the payouts for a 5+1 SNG are 1-25 2-15 3-10 4...10-0 In my chart I have a column that tells me what place I finished in the sit and go. But I need a forumula that recognizes that place and puts a value for it in the next column. So I guess it would be a forumula that references the payout structure and puts a value in that corresponds to my finishing place. I appreciate the help with this, I realize I have much to learn about excel. Thanks in advance for the help. |

in case you are curious, Aleo Mageus has created an excel spreadsheet for his SnG progress, and I believe anyone can download it from him. Go look in the One Table Tournament forum for his spreadsheet.

=IF(A1=1,25,IF(A1=2,15,IF(A1=3,10,)))
A1 cell holds the place you finished. change the cell number accordingly. |

Re: Need some help with Excel
Use "vlookup."
First create a table with the places/payouts. For example: A1:A10 lists the finishing position (1, 2, 3, etc). B1:B10 lists the payouts ($25, $15, $10, etc). Now in cell D1, type the place you finished for a particular tourney, like 3 (3rd). Now for the cell where you want the payout value to populate, here's your formula: =vlookup(D1,A1:B10,2,false) It's much easier to make adjustments using this format rather than "if" statements. Also, you can easily make multiple grids for multiple SNG buy-in amounts. If you want, I can do an actual example and email it to you. PM me with your address if interested. |
