I want to keep a running total of Points, Events, and Cashes from 40 events.
The players will vary from each event.
And the list of players in the "Total Table" will grow.
Also the Player "Rank" will be resorted after every event.

I'm still a beginner, and learning as I go.

What am I missing in my formula? It won't add if a player is not in all Event Tables.

And what is a simpler way since I will be adding 40 events?

Thanks for your help!

Excel Facts

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
Just confirming ..

- Totals and each 'Event' is a separate Excel Table, but
- all in the one sheet &
- all with headings in row 2 &
- spaced every 5 columns (after the Totals table which is an extra column wide)?

Good question.
What is the best way to set it up?
Should I use tables?
Should I keep it all on one sheet, or use separate sheets for each event?
Should I keep the same number of columns in each table?

I'm open to any suggestions.

Tables or not doesn't really matter for this suggestion, but I have set my sample up with tables.
Keep all the event tables the same size(ie same number of columns) with columns in the same order in each table & all side-by-side across a single sheet as shown below.
Then use formulas like these in the Totals table.
