Sports Results Sheet in Numbers

Hi all,
I have a sheet of sports scores which I update with new results after each game. I currently manually add each result, and then across the various tables I have in Numbers depending on which info each table displays.  I am slowly working towards this process being more automated, with formulas updating these tables as required rather than going through each sheet, often repeating the same information.
One initial problem I have with the basic formulas is for it automatically working out and displaying whether the score is a win, loss or draw for my team. Putting one team's score in one column (e.g. column A) and the other team's in the next (e.g. column B) I would like to understand the formula behind getting Numbers to work out if A is more than, less than or equal to column B, and depending on the result displaying a 'W', 'L' or 'D' in a third column.
I think once I understand this (potentially using IF statements?) I'll be able to work out further formulas for other information.
Any help would be much appreciated, thank you in advance. I'm sure this is incredibly basic for those with more spreadsheet eperience than I have.
Elliot

If the Your team is in Column A and the oppoenent is in column B then in column C you can do something like this:
C2=IF(COUNTA(A2:B2)<2, "",IF(A2=B2, "Draw",IF(A2>B2,"Win","Loss") ))
this is shorthand for, select cell C2, then type (or copy and paste from here) the formula:
=IF(COUNTA(A2:B2)<2, "",IF(A2=B2, "Draw",IF(A2>B2,"Win","Loss") ))

  • How can I paste a part of a sheet from Numbers in Pages as text, without the formulas.The reason I need this (and was used to in Office) so that I have the freedom to delete something in one cell (in pages document) without causing changes.

    How can I paste a part of a sheet that I copied in Numers in a pages document without the formulas, simply as text. Used this a lot in Office. When I make some changes in the pages document. f.i. deleting a cell, I don't want to change other cells. Also when I copy a part of a sheet from Numbers and one of the cells that is part of the formula is not also copied, when I paste in Pages it shows as an error.
    Hope that You can me help with this.

    Leon,
    There are two solutions to the first question, narrowing to one solution when you have a broken link causing an error.
    Here's the "works always" solution.
    Copy (Command-C) the table or range in Numbers
    Click off the table on the blank canvas of the sheet.
    Edit > Paste Values
    Command-C
    Switch to Pages
    Command-V

  • How do I delete pages on a sheet in Numbers?

    How do I delete pages on a sheet in Numbers? I have 6 pages, and only need 2.

    "Totally unintuitive" is often a way of saying "not the way I've become accustomed to."
    In the Numbers Help menu, you will see "Numbers '09 User Guide." Choosing this item downloads a searchable PDF file containing the guide—a much better and easier to use resource than the indexed, but not fully searchable Help files.
    Numbers uses a model sufficiently different from "what you've been accustomed to" that I'd recommend reading at least the first two (or three) chapters straight through. The rest of the guide can be left to read on an 'as needed' basis.
    You'll also find a link to the iWork formulas and functions User Guide in the Help menu. If you're going to write formulas in your spreadsheets, you'll want to download that as well, and keet it available as a reference guide.
    Regards,
    Barry
    PS: I found this particular aspect of Numbers (what you see on the screen is what you get, but you can scale it to fit on fewer—or more—pages if you want) a fairly 'intuitive' (read: 'familiar') concept, since I'd been using the similar 'resize' feature with copy machines to make copied originals fit the page size to which I was copying them for as long as it has been available.

  • I created a spreadsheet using Microsoft office 2010 Excel.  When I open the sheet using Numbers, the formatting changes.  How do I fix this?

    I created a spreadsheet using Microsoft office 2010 Excel.  When I open the sheet using Numbers, the formatting changes.  How do I fix this?

    If you plan to share or work with people who regulary use MS Excel you should not try to use this in Numbers.  You will have constant problems with how each program translates the formatting.
    If you want to use Numbers, use it exclusively.  If it is for your job use the tool your company uses.

  • Docking a sheet in Numbers on the iPad

    Hi,
    When viewing a sheet in Numbers on the iPad the sheet moves. I find this disturbing while entering data. Is there a way to dock it so that the sheet remains fixed below the tabs.
    Thanks,
    - R

    As far as I can tell, you can print individual sheets in Numbers for iOS (in fact that is the default) but you can only share the entire document (workbook) as pdf.
    It should be possible to Share > Open in Another App, remove the unwanted sheets in the other app (such as GoodReader 4), and email from there.

  • I have a table that I want to mirror on another sheet in Numbers

    I have a table that I want to mirror on another sheet in Numbers.  Ideally it would be from another file but it looks like numbers doesn't support this right now. 
    It would be used to combine several regions into one national table file.  Is doing the = for each cell the most efficient way to do this?  Below is a screenshot of how my data is formatted.  This list would be around 30 rows but it could be anywhere from 1 - 150 for each of 8 regions each having their own table.  I want to combine all of those into a master list for the national file. 
    It also appears that the checkmark box for data does not copy as well.  It returns false but formatting it back into a checkbox loses the = functionallity and it won't update. 

    Hi Brandon,
    Rather than having eight regional tables and then struggling to consolidate them, have you considered having one table and then extracting regional views and data from it?  In many situations that can be more efficient.
    To get a regional view from the master table you could use a filter, something like this (substitute Region for Type):
    And extract sums and counts using a summary table for each region, something like this:

    You might find it easier to duplicate the whole doc and delete the sheets you don't want. Otherwise you are copying and pasting tables from each sheet.

  • I can't convert an Excel sheet to Numbers

    I was suggested to ask my question here:
    I've created a Numbers sheet on my iPad - sending it to Excel on  a computer it opens and works ok. When sending the sheet back (edited on Excel and) the iPad - Numbers comes up with the following (translated from Danish) "Sheet can not be imported - File format is unvalid".
    I've tried to send it as .XLSX and .XLS.
    My Excel version is 2007
    Can any of you help me?
    Thanks

  • Is there a way to print or export only one sheet from Numbers on IOS?

    Hello there -
    I am attempting to use Numbers to generate proposals and invoices in the field. My route is a simple (hopefully good-looking) front page, various forms by which to enter data and several additional sheets boasting a great many tables containing static data (parts costs by vendor, lists of customers et cetera) and many formulae which do the actual work.
    I just want to print/export the proposal or invoice (the front page as massaged by the "engine" on the back pages) rather than the whole flippin' workbook.
    Ideas?
    Thanks,
    Russ
    Power without wisdom is akin to an adze with a ruined edge, and is suited more to the vandal than the builder.

    Hey there -
    Nope - at least not when printing to PDF. IOS is a tidge, er, limiting.
    I re-posted in the IOS area; we'll see what happens there.
    Thanks again,
    Russ

  • How do I print just part of a sheet in numbers

    I'm new to MAC and was told that it is so intuitive...
    I havn't found that to be true..I guess that it is "intuitive" to someone who wasn't brought up on TRSDOS and Windows... Visicalc, 123, and Excel...
    They all seemed so easy to understand...     Want to print an area of a spreadsheet? Just highlight the area and print it! Simple.
    With numbers, I think their inspector is INSPECTOR GADGET..   You have to figure out every step of the way what it's able to do (or NOT do)
    I'M FRUSTRATED WITH NUMBERS... JUST WANT TO PRINT PART OF A SHEET. BUT IT WANTS TO PRINT IT ALLLLLLLLLL.
    HELP

    Printing of PDF documents being viewed in Firefox is handled by the PDF plugin, not by Firefox, so you'll need to use the "page range" pref in the print dialog for that PDF program if you don't want to print the entire document. AFAIK, Adobe doesn't provide a way of selecting just a part of a page ''(a "selection" from a page as with Firefox on web pages)'' to be printed, but you might want to check that out with Adobe support.

  • I am starting a new spread sheet in numbers to log my photos. I want to set up a sort button on each column but do not know how to accomplish this. Any ideas?

    I have a Macbook Pro with the latest Yosemite operating system on it. I am using Numbers 3.5.2 and I am making a spread sheet for my photos. I am having columns with different information in them and I want the ability to sort them using buttons. Can anyone help me with this?

    Bunnie,
    The only way to prevent such loss is with a robust backup system.  Apple provide TimeMachine as part of OS X.  Connect an external hard drive to your computer and off you go.  hourly, daily backups.  I have recovered more than one computer this way,
    As far as photos goes I use this approach:
    1) Time Machine
    2) a offsite copy of the picture folder from my user (I literally copy the picture folder to a separate, non-Time machine drive and relocate that drive in my desk drawer at work).  I bring the offsite drive home every coupe months it refresh.
    Numbers will not do a good job for this task (in my opinion) and will not facilitate metadata stored in the pictures.  On bad thing happens in the number file and all your pictures are gone.  In addition if you were to select the menu item "File > Advanced > Reduce File Size..." and, "BAM!!" all your pictures would be compressed and not their original size. 
    iPhoto keeps every change you make to a picture so you can get the original back.  What ever happened with iPhoto will be much worse with Numbers (again, in my opinion).
    Really set up a Time Machine backup.  the drive should cost about $100, use it.
