Using Excel Data To Create A Game Schedule
Jul 11, 2013
I am trying to use Excel to generate a game schedule for my fantasy football league. Right now I handle this task manually but I figured there has to be a way for Excel to work it out.
Let's say I have 16 teams playing 16 games. I have a table written out using numbers to represent the different teams. The x-axis has one team number per column while the y-axis has a week number in each row. The intersection of any column with each row shows the x-axis team's opponent for the week. What I want to do is substitute a team name or abbreviation for the team numbers in the body of the table and then generate a formula (or script? - I'm not sure of the correct terminology) to then produce a listing of the games each week. So the output would look something like this:
Week 1
BNS v ROC
NYL v NFB
WBB v TCF
etc...
Each 3 letter abbreviation represents a team name. This would significantly reduce the amount of manual work I have to do since Excel would generate the game schedule as above for each week and then I take that information and dump it into the software I use to run the League.

I am about to apply for an entry-level job as a scheduler for a company that ships olive oil. But before I decide to actually do this I'd like to see what I'm getting myself into.
It is how Microsoft Excel is used to schedule shipments, monitor inbound shipments and keep track of inventory.

I was trying to create an autobingo game for my kids which randomized the 5 by 5 grid. To do that I did combined a Randbetween and VLOOKUP to a table on a separate sheet which had the name of the object (i.e. "cow") in column 2 and a picture in column 3. Well, the VLookup will return the name of the object but won't return the pictures. Is there a way to get those embedded objects to move into my autobingo form? I'm thinking this requires a Visual basic macro.

I have sheet containing a schedule of data. It is a record of changes on a project, each change is sequentially numbered and contains a row of data (date of change, whether approved, cost of change etc). Each change is given a cost centre reference (1 of 10 cost centres are being used) depending on the type of change being made.
I need to keep that record of the overall schedule of changes but I also want to extract each of the cost centre categories into a sub table on the sheet to give a schedule of changes against each category.
I have almost achieved what I want but one method leaves blanks in the sub table which I want to avoid and the other method I used to remove the blank lines but needs the first method sheet calculated before it then goes to work and seems rather cumbersome and I suspect there is a much easier method. (I also want it to be compatible with excel 2003 so it can be used across several platforms.)

I am using Excel 2003 and I created an amortization schedule set up for an debt account. I am trying to pull the "Balance Due" from that schedule into another chart based on the current date (these are on two different sheets in a workbook).
For example, this is my 'Amortization Schedule':
Balance
Due
Interest
Rate
This Month's
Interest
This Month's
Payment
[code]....
And I am trying to pull the "Balance Due" from that schedule to place into this chart on my 'Debts' sheet: (based on the current date)
Name
Starting
Balance
Remaining
Balance
Interest
Rate
Minimum
[code]....
For example, if today were 1/15/13, I would want $3,796.34 from the schedule to go where the "x" is on the chart above. What formula would I use to accomplish this?
Also, on a side note, would there be a formula to have Excel pull the "Payment Date" from the schedule into the "Payoff Date" in the chart based on where the row has a $0 Balance Due?

Each row of the spreadsheet from a6:a25 is the planned production of one cellbuilder.
From this sheet I need to produce a work schedule of tasks to be performed by date.
Detailing, batch, cellbuilder number,weather 1st or 2nd graft etc, and the date available (for picking)
I would like the option to choose a daily or weekly schedule.
Is this possible ? and how would I even start to go about it. I just can't visualise how to do it.

I have three columns. the first column is a list of buyers (19), then second column is a list of suppliers (27) and the three column is the time. each supplier has ranked the buyers and the order they want to meet them.
every meeting is for 20 minutes e.g 1st meeting at 8am then next at 820am.
i can do all of it manually but the schedule becomes too long.
is there a way to make the schedule in a way that it is easily readable by anyone and if I need to add anything, it should not be an issue.

I am looking to copy a simple board game in Excel
Basically it would be a simple race. Containing 4 counters (blue, green, red and Yellow) and 10 squares each.
There would be 40 cards 10 blue, 10 green, 10 red and 10 yellow. Cards would be draw randomly and the counters move respectively. I would be thinking about starting with =RANDBETWEEN(1,10).
I have no knowledge of VBA/ macro but would welcome ideas with what formulas/ commands to use.
I have added some snapshots to show what I would be looking for.

I am using Excel 2007. I want to create a graduating schedule to figure fees. For example, $10 per thousand for the first $500,000. $13 for the next $2,000,000, etc. I have tried to understand the IF function but am not sure if this is the correct one to use.

I'm trying to create a bracket for video game tournaments and I'm having trouble with some of the functionality I want it to have.
Right now, I have cells B7 and B9 that will pull player names from another check in sheet. I have another cell, D8, that I would like to have a drop down list in containing the contents of B7 and B9. Everything I see online says to use Data Validation, but apparently that tool can't make a list using cells that aren't next to each other, so that won't work. How else can I tell excel how to populate this list? It is vital that the cells be apart from each other because the visual formatting is necessary for displaying the bracket on a projector so that the players can see their match assignments.
In addition, I would like to have another drop down menu in another cell with a list of valid bracket sizes (4, 8, 16, 32, etc.), and have the cells of the sheet either be visible or invisible depending on how many max players can enter. In other words, if columns B, D, F, and H correspond to the number of rounds it will take to finish the tournament (3, 2, 1, and 0, respectively), I would like the sheet to display only the cells necessary for the tournament, pull player names into the left most cells needed from another worksheet used for sign ups, and auto populate all of the columns to the right of the column for first round with drop down lists for the players who could have won that match in the previous round.

I finally found a program that can out put the amounts from a schedule k-1 form. Now comes the hard part, adding logical formulas.
Some of the line items either have an amount to or not. What the pdf2xl program does is output where if the line item has an amount to it, it would add the amount right below the line item. If it doesn't have an amount, it would just add the next line item underneath. Question is what is a good approach to get this to automate, so if line items have an amount, then that amount is known to be line item cell above. Here comes the tricky part as well, some line items have alphabets to them, so a particular line item say 11 would have A-F or line 13 would have A-W. What is a good way to have the line item output the line item + alphabet?
Column A & C = Line Item
Column B & D = Alphabet

I have a schedule that covers 3 shifts for the entire month. I have another sheet that is used for crew sign in that I want to auto populate with all the people on that shift for that day.
I need to be able to use 2 different cells on the sign in sheet for reference for the formula (one for the day, and the other for the shift. ex. Day 3rd, shift D). I'm wanting to use an array formula to accomplish this. I've uploaded a stripped schedule as this is for the military and can't have any data on it that pertains to what or who it's for.
BTW our current method is to due it manually for every shift for every day that wastes about 12-16 man hours every week. I have excel 2010 at work currently. Access is out of the question and Macro's/vba may or may not work as security is always being increased on our systems so either a single or multiple formula is the route I'm looking to do that will work the the next few years I hope.

I've been working on this for a while unsuccessfully. Any way I can create a simple report that is autopopulated with the data from a schedule. The report worksheet would need to be organized by division and AM/PM. see attached for further explanation. I've tried things like "Index(Match)", but it's too cumbersome and not automated.

Excel 2013 on a surface tablet and attempting to create a data form. I've followed the necessary steps to try and add the "Form" button to the quick access toolbar, but "Form" is simply not a listed command. Have looked in "All Commands", "Commands not listed in the ribbon" and "Data Tab" and it's nowhere to be found. Not greyed out, just not there.
Frustrating because it's so easy to create a form on past versions of excel. All the tutorials I've seen online explain how to add "Form" to the quick access toolbar

Currently I have been tasked with trying to develop a link between an excel spreadsheet and outlook. What they want is for a button to pickup new entries into the sheet and then create outlook events based on several criteria. The first been that is put on several shared calendars, second that the category of the event is call "BID" and gold in color. The last part is where specific information from the spreadsheet fits into the event areas (ie. subject, location, start time, body). I did find code that is a possible solution but manipulating it to what i need. Here is the code.
Code:
Option Explicit
Sub AddToOutlook()
Dim OL As Outlook.Application
[Code]....
As you can see for the most part I have been able to fill in most of the program with what i needed. I have column B on the sheet that has r's on it. If there is an r in that column then the macro creates information from that row, else it skips to the next one. so i need a loop. Also like stated above, how do you make it an event and not a meeting, how do you set the category and lastly for the boy how do i set it so it copies the entire row (column A, Column C to Column L)?

I'm trying to update a the summary sheet that will run through the 10 worksheets and bring back the entire row (or the columns I specify) that matches the creteria MS.
MS will appear against each row in the same column in all the tabs.
So in the summary sheet I would see all the rows individually that appear in tabs 1-10.
Excel 2007.

Has anyone created this game for Excel?
It's a game where you locate words in a 5 row by 5 column grid of letters where letters forming the words must be adjacent to each other.
Seems like an interesting project.

I have a text file which is attached as "rawdata". It contains records of something (let's call it temperature) at different times on different days. My goal is to display a graph of temperature versus time so that I can visually analyze trends. I have hundreds of these files, all of different lengths. it is very important that I automate this process as much as possible.
Detail: (Here I describe what I have done so far; if this is inefficient or unnecessary, feel free to tell me) I open Excel 2010, click File, Open, and select the file that I want to parse. It is a TXT file, so the Text Import Wizard comes up. For step one, I select Fixed Width. I select File Origin: MS-DOS (PC-8). On step 2 of the wizard, I create column break lines to place all dates in the far left column. The next column contains the first column of numbers before the first dash (-). The next column contains only the dash - I will later select "ignore this column" to eliminate them. The next column contains the time stamps. I continue adding column breaks in the wizard until all of the data are parsed into columns in the same manner.
In step 3, I format the first column as "date (DMY)". The columns with the dashes I select "do not import". Everything else is "general". I click "finish", and the resultant workbook is attached, called "import".
Now, as to what I want to do: I want to display the "temperatures" as a graph vs a date/time axis. The reason I find this difficult is because the temperatures and times are not in neat columns, but are in 4 columns that go in a left-to-right and top-to-bottom progression and are broken up every few lines. (I am interested only in numbers that are displayed immediately to the left of a time-stamp. Therefore, the "record #"s should be ignored. We can delete the rows that say "record #" if can be done automatically.)

having trouble creating a function which does the following:
1. acknowledges the current server as a parameter (which has been randomly chosen by code i've already written)
2. generates the winner of a particular point according to pre-designated statistics
(pre designated stats are:
(a) prob of first serve being in
(b) prob of winning point on first serve
(c) prob of second serve being in
(d) prob of winning point on second serve
(if first and second serve are both out then the other player wins the pt)
3. simulates a whole game of tennis (player x serving throughout the game) and returns a winner (player x or player y)
4. then simulates a whole set
5. then simulates a match (first to 3 sets)

Is it possible to aggregate data in a pivot table from different categories?
I have excel 2003.
For PURE illustration, I have 6 columns, A-F, respectively:
"TV Show", 4 columns for names of people who watched the show (Persons 1, 2, 3, and/or 4), and finally, the duration / "Time" of the show.
I want to see in a final output:
Anytime a person has watched the show (whether i have penned him in columns 1, 2, 3 or 4), Excel to aggregate the total hours watched by that person.
When i try to do this with my pivot table i run into an error: if Person A watched "TV Show X" in row 1 and his name is in the Person 1 Column, Excel will not aggregate his TV time with "TV Show Y" in Row 2 when his name is in the Person 2 column.
It will sum up the categories separately even if the "Person" inputs in the separate "Person" columns are exact matches.

i can calculate finish "molkky" game scores?
These are rules; you get points after falling sticks (if any falls). Points are 0-?. Goal is to get 50 points. If you get over 50 points, then points go back 25 points.
As you see (attachment) Matts points are 51, so he has now 25 points.

I have a Text List (about 40 rows of Commercial Names) in a column. On 10 seperate sheets I make a 5 row by 5 column range (the Bingo Game) and manually copy one item from the Text List into one of the cells in the 5 by 5 range as randomly as possible until the range is filled. I've manually counted each item from the Text List's use, but it very time consuming when I add more items to my list. I'm looking for two solutions.
1. Is there a way to automatic the random distribution from the Text List into the various sheets on an equal basis.
2. Is there a way to count the number of times an item from the Text List appears in the 5 by 5 range and sum that for all 10 sheets.
