Default Betfair Data formulae
I Need help.
I want to check the Betfair data sheets from http://data.betfair.com.au/hr_files_finaldata.php
I want to know how to automatically work out the profit /loss of laying each race to various scenarios.
So firstly laying the field to SP liability say $100.
Secondly laying to the runners to a set SP ie $20 max.
Thirdly laying the favourite only
Fourthly laying the first few favourites only (1st and 2nd or 1,2,&3)
Conditional highlight fav and winner
I know it can be done but completely outside my capability at present.
Thanks in advance Beton

Something like this beton?

As I had to use array formulas to calculate the favourite returns, the calculations are demanding on most pc's so I have limited the worksheet size to 2000 records, which should suffice for you average day.

Dont think I have made any errors, but I did make a mistake once, so buyer beware

benton, it may make things easier allround to delete out all the place records prior to using bf's data

The code below does the job, let me know if you need instructions on use

Code:
Sub delete_place_records()

Dim lst As Long
Dim i As Long


lst = Range("E" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row


For i = lst To 1 Step -1


    If Range("E" & i).Value Like "TO BE PLACED" Then
        
        Range("E" & i).EntireRow.Delete
        
    End If


Next i
End Sub

Thanks again.
I have absolutely no idea where and how to put the code in. But I would like to. My New Years resolution "Learn Excel"

new version attached beton

As the number of records is greatly reduced after removing place/trots/pace records each betfair file will comfortably fit on one excel worksheet, anyway see how you go with it, any questions let me know.
