I am trying to create a spreadsheet that will tabulate the dollar amount a golfer would win in a league using the Skins format.

I already have a spreadsheet that lists each golfer score per hole then, I have it calulate the net difference between the 2 golfers per hole. The net is a result of an handicap (if needed) being assed on a golfer. For example Golfer A's handicap is a 10 and Golfer B's handicap is a 11 that means golfer B will get a stroke deduction one hole. So, if golfer A gets a 4 and golfer B gets a 5 then they halve or tie the hole with a score of 4.

I am now on a different spreadsheet I am looking for an IF statement (i think) that would look at the net difference per hole and reward $1 to the golfer with the lowest score on that hole. Now if the net score on a hole ties the hole I need that $1 to carry over to the next hole making it worth $2, and so on so on until there is a distict winner on a hole thus winning the carried over amount. For example, Golfer A and B tie the first 3 holes so now hole for is worth $4 ($3 carried over and $1 for the actual value of the hole) If Golfer A wins the hole by a score of 4 to 5 the net difference is -1 and Golfer A wins the $4. Then hole #5 starts over and is worth $1. If a tie runs through till the 9th hole then that money stays in the pot and no one wins it.

Please suggest how I can accomplish this. My spreadsheet to calculate the Skins won is a mirror of the one that shows the scores and differences per hole. Here is an example:
For the sake of the example lets say that both golfers have the same handicap so no strokes are awarded.

GOLFER A SCORES 5 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 5
GOLFER B SCORES 6 - 6 - 4 - 4 - 5 - 5 - 3 - 4 - 5
Difference -1 -1 0 -1 +1 0 +1 -1 0

In this example Golfer A wins holes 1,2,4 & 8. Golfer B wins holes 5 & 7. Holes 3,6 & 9 are ties or carryovers.

Total dollars won for Golfer A is $1 for hole 1 & 2 each, $2 for winning hole 4 (carryover from #3) and he wins $1 on hole #8 for a total won of $5
Golfer B wins dollars on holes #5 and wins $2 for winning hole #7 (carrryover from #6) for a total of $3. $1 dollar is left in the pot because of the tie on hole #9

Hope I explained this good enough to understand what I looking for. This is something new we are doing this year for our 32 man league and I need something that will clarfy each golfers winnings week to week.

Thank you in advance.

It is not. Guess I need to try the 1st suggestion. Thanks again

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).
For the top solution when they tie on the 1st hole I get an error.

B4:J4B4=IF(A2=A3,1+N(A4),0)

1 more tweak. How do I revise the formula's so the columns B through I are worth $1 and just column J (9th or 18th hole) is worth $2.?

You mean no carry over for the tied holes?

No still the same format but I want to increase the prize on the last hole (column j) to $2 so if hole #8 (column I) is tied then the last hole (#9 or #18) is worth $3. If someone wins hole #8 (column I) then the last hole (column J is worth double the normal prize of $1 now its $2. Just something to make the last hole worth more. In total then 8 holes (columns B through I) are worth $1 equaling $8 and the last hole (column J) is worth $2 so there is a total of $10 available for the match. If the last hole ends in a tie then no one wins the hole and the $2 goes back in the pot.

Ok, how about
Excel Formula:
=SUM(IF(B2:J2<B3:J3,1+B4:J4,0))+(J2<J3)
