Hello Alan B: TNX for reading my query about Calc Help-updating Data.ods.
For reasons, unknown to me, my pasted example seems to be plain/unformatted text, although I had sent it out via Mozilla Thunderbird email client using both HTML and plain text to the AOO mailing list, and appeared properly displayed in my compose window. I realize that w/o the full formatting, it is difficult to read and understand what is displayed at your end.
This Dropbox link, I think, will allow you to download the full AOO-Calc file:

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.
(The _Match Series_ data for my teammates Russ, Dave, and Bob are being poked manually into AL6, AL8, and AL9, weekly. )
In another thread, dated 1/18/2020, Brian Barker has offered suggestions using =MATCH, =OFFSET, and =INDIRECT functions. I am not familiar with those functions, but will likely attempt their use when time permits me to learn more about them. Brian also prefers the use of minimal examples; therefore, I fear that I am verbose in my queries and comments. However, I am hopeful that my comments above have been helpful in clarifying my OP.
Again, thanks for your interest in solving my problem. Regards, VinceB. On 1/19/2020 10:00 PM, Alan B wrote:
Hello Vince, I'm intrigued but not able to follow what you're trying to do. Columns D through H appear to be the games bowled in any given week, rows (or should I say weeks) 1 through 21 are the results of the games in those weeks. That seems clear to me. But whose games, Russ, Vince, Dave, or Bob's? The disconnect comes with "using the results in [AL] and [AN]". How does a single row shown as 1 - 21 and columns [D] though [H] in your example relate to multiple individuals [AL] through [AN]?
They do not .
And more importantly, what are you trying to achieve? If I understood that I might be able to offer some useful help.
See my comments above. HTH.

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. Regards, VinceB.
