For my schools sports day i need to convert the position someone comes in to a score.
I need 2 kinds a competition of 4 people and of 8 people
so:
Place -> Score
1st->8,
2nd->7,
3rd->6,
...,
8th->1
and
1st->8,
2nd->6,
3rd->4,
4th->2
Thanks in advance
Edit: The place just comes out as 1,2,3,...,8 or 1,2,3,4 not 1st,2nd ect.


As I understood, simply you can do something like this,
B1 -> =IF(A2>8,"NA",9-A2)
C1 -> =IF(A2>4,"NA",10-2*A2)
Once you enter the place in A1, you will get the score accordingly as below.

In one part of my spreadsheet, I am calculating odds ratios. I have one column (V) with the OR, and then W and X with the confidence intervals. In another column (M), I am trying to get excel to list this information in one cell.
i.e.
0.78 (0.25, 2.46)
I have just been copying the information, but this is prone to errors and takes ages, so I am looking for a better way.
Any ideas?

Try a formula like:
=[#columnV]&"("&[#columnW]&","&[#columnX]&")"
This should concatenate row wise down the entire table with the desired format.

I have a column in an excel-sheet like this:
a_bcdfg02fga
k_lmnop05fab
x_yzabd03ea
I would like to substract the number by 1 in these string to get a column like this
a_bcdfg01fga
k_lmnop04fab
x_yzabd02ea
I never face such a problem so I don't even know where to start.

Use a simple formula:
=LEFT(A1,7)&text(MID(A1,8,2)-1,"00")&MID(a1,10,20)

I need a formula to get Time from Distance (km) and Speed (kt)
A1 = 100km (distance)
A2 = 40knot (speed)
A3 = 00:00:00 (time) which I need!?
Does somebody know hot to get this? Thank you
UPDATE - Solved!
Knots should be first converted to km/h. So formula is =(100/(40*1,852))/24

Using Algebra: Solve for time. Since D = rt solve for t; t = D/r. in other words A3 = A1/A2.

Got a list of data with 7 columns each with a Y in, I want to add a formula that will check for a Y in the column then concatenate the headings if correct and ignore if not.
See below example
Is this possible?

Try this User Defined Function.
=TextJoinIfs(", ", 0, 0, B$1:H$1, B2:H2, "y")

I did not get the TextJoinIfs to work, sadly, looks neat. If you have the same problem maybe this can be a solution. Not pretty I know...
=TEXTJOIN(",",TRUE,IF(IFERROR(MATCH("Y",A2),FALSE),"col 1",""),IF(IFERROR(MATCH("Y",B2),FALSE),"col 2",""),IF(IFERROR(MATCH("Y",C2),FALSE),"col 3",""),IF(IFERROR(MATCH("Y",D2),FALSE),"col 4",""),IF(IFERROR(MATCH("Y",E2),FALSE),"col 5",""),IF(IFERROR(MATCH("Y",F2),FALSE),"col 6",""),IF(IFERROR(MATCH("Y",G2),FALSE),"col 7",""),)

Need help on make excel number format to a list of numbers.
For example:
1-3
to become below on different rows.
1
2
3
If anyone could help

A solution with a formula only:
We assume that A1=1-3. Fill the following formula into A2 and copy it down.
=IF(A1<>"",IF(ISNUMBER(A1),IF(A1+1<=VALUE(RIGHT(A$1,LEN(A$1)-FIND("-",A$1))),A1+1,""),VALUE(LEFT(A$1,FIND("-",A$1)-1))),"")
The result will be
1
2
3
This works for any numbers devided by -.
