DNB is meant to note someone did not bowl. It is just text entered in each
cell rather than merging the cells and entering "Did not bowl".
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.
