Excel Help Please
Hello all
I recently purchased Racecensus (and very pleased with it) and am contemplating exporting data to Excel to allow me to produce and test ratings that pre-date my own ratings which go back only as far as 2006.
One problem I reckon I'll face is in the use of the MAX function in Excel which I use to create ratings for specific elements of form. I've attached a very simple example to try and explain things better.
The problem I envisage is that the MAX function is applied to the runners in a specific race only and because each race in the database will have varying numbers of runners, I will need to manually change my MAX formula to accommodate the number of runners (ie: rows) every time I come to a new race in the spreadsheet. A total nightmare I reckon...
If I've explained this OK I was wondering if anyone out there has a solution that would allow the formula to be copied down an entire column in the spreadsheet without the need to manually change it every time there's a change in race?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated - including "don't bother"!!!!
Thanks all
Sparky
