fixing both of my problems. Thanks to Mr. Feraudo. [/Edit]</p> <p>For you Microsoft Excel experts out there, I have data on the scoring for an individual player and I am trying to figure out the use of a formula or two to calculate the following: I need to calculate the number of goals a person scored at Home (or Away) without individually counting them and then do the same thing for games in which the player’s team Won or Loss.</p> <p>I thought about using CountIf but I’m not sure how to count items from a range of data based on a criteria that is not necessarily in the range. For example, if I want to count items from the <strong>Goals</strong> column based upon whether the <strong>Location</strong> is Home or not. Also, I’m not too familiar with using the Offset formula to calculate a column’s worth of data in a single cell as opposed to repeat it for every cell.</p> <p>Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Even if you think you have something that might work but you aren’t too sure, feel free to shoot me an email or talk to me online about it.</p> <p><a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/downloads/archives/category/../wp-content/uploads/2010/03/ExcelHelp.png');" href="../wp-content/uploads/2010/03/ExcelHelp.png"><img title="ExcelHelp" src="../wp-content/uploads/2010/03/ExcelHelp.png" alt="" width="514" height="374" /></a><a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/downloads/archives/category/../wp-content/uploads/2010/03/ExcelHelp.png');" href="../wp-content/uploads/2010/03/ExcelHelp.png"><br /></a></p> <p> </p> <div class="linkwithin_hook" id="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/1789"></div><script type="text/javascript">AKPC_IDS += "1789,";</script><p class="akpc_pop">Popularity: 9%</p><div style="float:left;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;"><a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.google.com/reader/link?url=http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/1789&title=Excel Help Request [Solved]&srcTitle=Angry Brown Guy&srcURL=http://www.angrybrownguy.com');" href="http://www.google.com/reader/link?url=http://www.angrybrownguy.com/archives/1789&title=Excel Help Request [Solved]&srcTitle=Angry Brown Guy&srcURL=http://www.angrybrownguy.com" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.google.com');

Out of the 13 problems on that exam, I had problems with (1e) for some unexplainable reason but I guess that is me being rusty. I did well there not to embarrass at least myself but it certainly would not surprise me if those people who have done little to no math since high school that they would struggle exam. It is not a trend that I like but it is only a matter of fact nowadays.</p> <p>This was a test (<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.angrybrownguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/UWMathTest.pdf');" href="http://www.angrybrownguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/UWMathTest.pdf" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/downloads/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/UWMathTest.pdf');">UW – Math Test</a></span></strong>) was conducted by a professor at the University of Washington who teaches Atmospheric Sciences 101, which is supposedly a large lecture with a diverse population of students from different majors I would assume. The results that the professor got from the simple test were rather appalling due to the lack of abilities of the incoming freshmen year after year.</p> <p>The professor went on to write:</p> <blockquote><p><em>The results were stunning, in a very depressing way. This was an easy test, including elementary and middle school math problems. And these are students attending a science class at the State’s flagship university–these should be the creme of the crop of our high school graduates with highGPAs. And yet most of them can’t do essential basic math–operations needed for even the most essential problem solving.</em></p> <p><em>Consider these embarrassing statistics from the exam:</em></p>
