Hi All,
Looking for a little help and perhaps creativity. I built a pretty extensive spreadsheet to run my football pool. I made a template pick sheet so when players send me their weekly picks I just copy and paste them into a "raw data" tab (this is literally a tab of nothing but everyone's picks for the entire season). From this I can then enter in the game winners on another tab and through a series of formulas on a third tab I'm able to calculate tie breaks etc to come up with our weekly winners. I display the weekly winners in an easy to read weekly format but for tracking purposes I also have a tab that keeps historical results. I've designed the historical results tab like this:[TABLE="class: grid, width: 800, align: center"]

The problem I'm having is after the first season the rank function is ranking all weekly total scores for all seasons (i.e rows 1 - 4) vs just the individual seasons (i.e. 1-2 and 3-4). I realize the easy way to solve this would be to have the rank function applied only to the rows for which that season is contained vs the column as a whole however since we have players come and go that can be a bit difficult to predict. Another solution I thought of was to have multiple rank columns that would only rank if the season matched (i.e. the header would be 2015 and if column B was 2015 it would only rank those rows). However the problem with that is that as we get further into the future i'm always having to add columns. I was hoping to find a more all inclusive solution in one column but am stumped thus far. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Some other info: I don't know much about VBA but am willing to learn. Ideally I'd like to take this to an online set up where people could log in and make their picks on their own with out having me send a pick sheet template and them send it back in Excel (even better would be if I could have the picks locked and displayed as games kicked off as well as results automatically recorded as games completed). Then if I'm totally dreaming a linked app for mobile view would be amazing, LOL. I realize there are sites that do this for a small fee or even for free but we have a few unique things about our pool (multiple competitions at the same time) that I'm able to build into one Excel file which I haven't seen any of the sites do yet. So I'm thinking it would have to be a custom site (which I'm totally willing to learn just need some guidance). Gotta crawl before I can walk though so any solution even if its still in the excel file is sufficient.
Thanks in advance.
