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"

No problem benton, when I get a bit of time tomorrow I will upload a new workbook with an option to delete the place bets - do you also want to get rid of the trot & pace races as well?

Looking back it wasn't that long ago I knew naff all about Excel & got a great deal of help from the Excel For Dummies book which I can highly recommend to get you going. Once that's under your belt then Excel VBA For Dummies is also a must read.

I will buy them tomorrow.
What you have done is great. I have just gone thru and highlighted the races that I am interested in testing against other data. (starting in DEC) It was only Saturday and Sunday 42 races. I deleted all other races manually. It worked a treat.
If you can delete the placed and the trots and pacers that will be great.

My initial aim is to check laying against data we have collected since Sept. However if we can get the excess removed I will go back as far as I can against BF data, and send you the summary. Beton

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.
