GolfCarter -
Did you find an answer yet? I have a similar problem. My father-in-law is in charge of finding the handicaps and tracking scores for his league. I told him I might be able to automate the process for him, but it turns out I'm a bit over my head on this one.
They take the last 6 games played (which means for some of the guys in their late 80's, they go back quite a few weeks at times). From there, they drop the highest score of the six and add the remaining scores. There is then a chart they reference that number to that will tell the handicap. I can do the look-up portion. Its the part where I find the last six games played and then drop the highest and add the remaining where I'm stumped. I've learned a bit about dynamic ranges in my research, but I don't know how to do anything from there and everything I've tried gives me an error message (Err 508, Err 512, etc.). I also need it so that my FIL can add scores week by week, so the range needs to be dynamic.
Sounds like what I'm trying to do is very similar.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would like to have this for him at least by Father's Day.
