See David Robeley's response.
I was jumping back and forth between virtual machines and inadvertently
used the one with LibreOffice without remembering you're using OpenOffice.
My bad.

Re: Calc Help
And, here I was about to claim that I have a satisfactory *work-around
solution*, including cell AL7, and was about to incorporate the changes
into my actual .ods file that is being used for the present bowling
season. I'll come up with a DropBox link to what I think is a workable
solution, soon.
Will take a closer look at the G36 issue, perhaps, later today, because
I do hope to have a template of this calc sheet for use during future
bowling seasons, i.e., covering G6:G41.
On 1/24/2020 7:17 PM, Alan B wrote:
DNB is meant to note someone did not bowl. It is just text entered in each

Now, some bad news. After reviewing what I suggested I realized the formula
given for cell AL7 will always show the value in G36 if the column G
formula is copied to every row at the start of each season. If it is added
week by week to each row in column G, then no problem. That doesn't make
for an easy to maintain sheet though.
My idea was enter three scores each week and everything else updates.
I did a little more thinking and came up with the following which meets the
goal above (this all started so AL7 and AN7 will update without being
modified by hand)...
* cells in the range D6:F41 must always be a score, the text "DNB", or be
empty
* Rows 6 through 41 must always have the games entered week by week. IOW,
no entering week 7 before week 6.
* the row for half way in the season must be removed. Only rows for bowling
weeks are allowed
* The formula in cell G6 for "Match Series" column is...
=IF(SUM(D6:F6)=0,IF(D6="DNB","DNB",""),SUM(D6:F6))
The formula displays the total for the games, DNB, or "".
SUM is 0 if columns D-F have DNB or "".
This formula can be copied to all the rows in the column and it will update
correctly for each row it is in.
* The formula in cell H6 for "Match Average" column is...
=IF(ISNUMBER(G6),G6/3,G6)
This formula can be copied to all the rows in the column and it will update
correctly for each row it is in.
* The formula in cell J6 for "Total Pins" column calculates total pins for
rows 6 through row the formula is in.
=IF(ISNUMBER(I6),DSUM($G$5:INDIRECT(CONCATENATE("$G",ROW())),1,$BB$5:$BB$6),"")
This formula should be copied to all week# rows in column J. It updates
correctly for each row it is in.
So for row 10 it calculates the total of rows 6 through 10, For row 15 the
total of row 6 through 15 and so on. If there is no number in League
Average it displays "".
Buried in the formula is the DSUM function. It requires a "Criteria Range"
to work. As written here the criteria range is cells BB5 and BB6. Cell BB5
contains the formula =G5. Cell BB6 contains >=0. For a criteria range to
work the column titles of the "database" and the "criteria range" must
match exactly (not accounting for formatting). If column title G, "Match
Series", is ever changed having cell BB5 be a formula that refers to it
prevents needing to remember to update the criteria.
The INDIRECT function enables the formula to identify the ROW() it is in so
the DSUM database range doesn't have to be entered individually for each
row, e.g. $G$5:$G$5, $G$5:$G$6, $G$5:$G$7 ... , $G$5:$G$10 and so on.
* The formula in cell AL7 for Vince post match play is...
=INDEX($Sheet1.G6:G41,36-COUNTBLANK($G$6:$G$41),1)
The column G formula returns one of three values, the sum of the games,
"DNB", or "". The season has 36 weeks. The formula presumes that as weeks
go by the Match Series column will be either a number, "DNB", or "" and
that "" are always the last rows in the column. Provided these conditions
are true the formula always returns the most recently entered week's Match
Series result.
* The formula in cell AN7 for Vince post match average is...
=INDEX($Sheet1.H6:H41,36-COUNTBLANK($H$6:$H$41),1)
This works the same as the above formula except for Match Average.

Re: Calc Help
Ooops! DNB=Did not Bowl. I am presently troubleshooting why the result at cell AL7 (i.e., =INDEX($Sheet1.G6:G42,COUNTA($Sheet1.G6:G42),1) is not correct. The difference between COUNT and COUNTA is yet to sink into this author's gray matter.

To meet design change #1 the "Did not bowl" in week 6 cannot be merged cells. And to meet condition #3 they cannot be empty either. As an alternative you could enter DNB in each cell in the row. AlanB: What is meant by "DNB" ? The row of merged cells that demark "half season" needs to change because of #1. If the row is deleted and the season half is indicated by a heavy border between week 18 and 19, that would suffice. This is the simplest solution I could find. More complex formulas might be possible that would meet your goal but I'm not familiar enough with Calc to readily conceive of them.

I am trying to "harvest", via a formula or function, the resulting _Match Series_ (column G) data, which is data only relevant to Vince's game scores. Sorry, I neglected to include the _Vince's Individual Record_ heading over columns B:L in my original example. The game scores for Vince (only) are being tracked on a weekly basis to generate the result that is given in column $G. At present, Cell AL7 contains the formula =G26. This value changes each week, as Vince's new scores are poked into columns D, E, and F each week (i.e., on the next week's row). So, at present, I am manually changing the formula within AL7 to reflect the current week's row.

AlanB: What is meant by "DNB" ? The row of merged cells that demark "half season" needs to change because of #1. If the row is deleted and the season half is indicated by a heavy border between week 18 and 19, that would suffice. This is the simplest solution I could find.

Re: Calc Help
I tested by modifying the formula in cell H7 in your sample spreadsheet. The modified formula is... =IF((ISNUMBER(G7));(G7/3);"") The test is whether or not the value in G7 is a number, ISNUMBER(G7). Text or a blank returns false, any number returns true. Replace the existing formula in column H with this. The same changes should be applied in the formula in column J. The if test logic is reversed from your original formula. Now if the test is true because the cell in column G contains a number then value1, Match Series / 3, should be the result. So IF(test; value1; value2) changes the order of your values. Instead of IF(test;"";(G7/3)) the formula is IF(test;(G7/3);"").

Hi Alan: I am trying to work my way through your suggestions. Changes to satisfy Design Change Requirements #1 and #3 are not a problem. However, Required Design Change #2 is problematic for me. :-[ I am not successful with IF-testing in the Match Average and Total Pins columns to satisfy Required Design Change #2. I have tried: 1. When I use =IF(G27>0;G27/3);"", the returned result is 0. (Not acceptable.) 2. When I use =IF(D27>0;G27/3);"", cell H27 returns a blank (acceptable??). How is a cell's content IF-tested for a number? Is IFNUMBER() needed here? If, yes, I will try using >0 within the parenthesis. I inserted: =INDEX($Sheet1.G6:G42,COUNTA($Sheet1.G6:G42),1) into cell AL7; am getting Error 508. Please verify the punctuation used in your suggested formula; I am expecting to see semicolons.

I have a Calc sheet that I enter data on a regular basis, as shown below:
[D] [E] [F][G][H] < Column headings

*19*10-Jan *Did Not Bowl. *
*20*17-Jan 161 134 147 442 147.3
*21*24-Jan
I use the results generated in columns G and H in another section of
the sheet, as shown:
[AL] [AN] < Column headings
*Team #2- ACHES & PAINS v2.0
Post Match Play*
*Russ: *458 *Player's Average: *152.67
*Vince: * 442 147.33
*Dave: *555 185.00
*Bob: * 600 200.00
Cells AL7 and AN7 are set to = the results calculated and provided
within cells G26 and H26, i.e., they show: 442 and 147.3.
My problem is that after calculating an update result within columns
G and H, e.g., on 24 Jan, (week # 21's data), the results based on
entry of data in D27:F27, there will be new results in the next row,
at cells G27 and H27. Therefore, I am forced to manually change the
formulae within AL7 and AN7 to correctly reflect the updated results
provided in columns AL and AN, by changing =G26 to =G27 and by
changing =H26 to =H27.
Is there an easier method of handling this task, through use of a
function or a formula?
I hope this is described clearly enough. If needed, I will attempt
to store the complete calc sheet at a Dropbox link. Let me know.
On another mailing list to which I am subscribed - nothing to do with
office suites - enquirers are expected to provide *minimal* examples,
and that lesson could be learned here. Almost everything you've
included in your message is irrelevant, and it is a matter of some
work to try to guess what your underlying problem is. People are
perhaps unlikely to want to carry out that work, especially if they
cannot be guaranteed that their efforts will transpire to be
relevant. That work of simplification should in all fairness fall, of
course, to you. And there are no yellow or gray backgrounds showing
in your message, so that's not relevant, I hope.
I think your problem reduces to finding a reference to the last
member of a list in a column. Is that right?
One way to do something like this is to add a "sentinel" value at the
end of the list in at least one of your columns. You need to choose
some value that cannot otherwise appear in the headings or data. If
you put, say, "X" in the first unused row of column A (you could
choose any column), then
=MATCH("X";A1:A999;0)
will return the row number of the row containing the sentinel. Note
that MATCH() returns the index within the range provided, so would
not return the row number if you gave it a data range did not start
in row 1. But as long as you choose a sentinel value that does not
appear in your headings, you can start the range from row 1.
Now you need to harvest the values in the cells above the sentinel
row in the relevant columns, and there are probably many ways to do
this. Examples for the value in column G might be:
=OFFSET(G1;MATCH("X";A1:A999;0)-2;0)
or
=INDIRECT("G"("X";A1:A999;0)-1)
But I fear (and hope!) that someone may be able to provide a neater solution.
One other possibility is to reverse your original table, so that the
most recent week is at the top. You would use Insert | Rows (or
right-click | Insert Rows) to insert a new row for each new week.
Then the row from which values need to be harvested does not change.
Does that fit your needs?
Incidentally, it is not obvious what you want to appear in your
second table if the current week has "Did Not Bowl." and appears to
have no values in the relevant columns (G and H) of the first table.
Do you
