Thanks Stugots for that. I joined up with Unitab today and at this stage their formguide seems to be quite good.

Shaun, I have Excel 2010.

Sitting here now redoing my spreadsheet to match up with the Unitab formguide. As you could have guessed from my questions I endeavour to give every horse in the field a rating arising from its last start finishing position/weight variation/time outside the "best" time for that distance, at that track on that going.

My VLookup table has now around 1600 times and grows every time I find a runner that raced somewhere that I didnt previously have. Concentrating on Sydney saturdays only.

Last saturday it rated 3 winners on top (R1 $11.00, R3 $4.00 and R4 $6.50). Every horse gets a kilogram rating with all times/margins etc, converted to kgs.

Hopefully with the Unitab formguide it might make my task much easier to do the copying and pasting, it was rather messy before.
