I am using Excel 2013. I have a file of golfers' names, handicaps and previous weekly scores in a file - 90 names in the file. Rather than updating the file manually I now get CSV file which I can use to update my own file. The CSV file is in Rank order whereas my file is in alphabetic order. I would like to be able to extract data from the CSV file to update my file but leave my file in alphabetic order and highlight the cells in my file according to the Place the player achieved.
In the attached sample I have the CSV data, columns with my current file data and columns that I would like to end up with as a result of the CSV feed.
I have tried all sorts of functions and combinations but can't get it to work. Hopefully someone can help.
Thanks

Excel Facts

Control Word Wrap
Press Alt+Enter to move to a new row in a cell. Lets you control where the words wrap.
If I understand correctly, you would like to click a button, select the correct csv file, dump the csv file data into columns A thru F. Then match up the surname and initial form the csv file to the player name that is in column L, and write the correct data into columns M thru P.

am i missing anything?

32Purpose :-
33To use input from a Golf Club CSV file to update a Golf Society competition data on a weekly basis. My example is for one week
34
35Overall requirements:-
36
37To check who played, what their Club Handicap is, what place they finished in - these are taken from the CSV data
38
39The Golf Society competition rules
40
41Each time a member plays in a competition he gets a bonus of 0.5 points
42If a member does not play in a competition his "score" will remain blank and his bonus will be the same as his "Previous Scores" bonus.
43
44The Winner of the competition will receive a prize but he will incur a penalty of 4 (bonus) points - applied to his bonuses for the coming week
45
462nd place in the competition will receive a prize, but he will incur a penalty of 3 (bonus) points - applied to his bonuses for the coming week
47
483rd place in the competition will receive a prize, but he will incur a penalty of 2 (bonus) points - applied to his bonuses for the coming week
49
504th place in the competition will receive a prize, but he will incur a penalty of 1 (bonus) point - applied to his bonuses for the coming week
51
525th place in the competition will receive a prize, but he will incur a penalty of 1 (bonus) point - applied to his bonuses for the coming week
53
54The winner and places for the Golf Society competition are determined by adding their current bonus to their competition score (from the CSV file).
55
56The members who played will have their handicap updated from their CSV file handicap.
57Any member who did not play will retain their current handicap - from "the previous scores" list.
58
59The Golf Society Member names will be updates on an annual basis - i.e. it will remain static for the playing season.
60The number of players (from the CSV data) will change according to the numbers who play in a competition.
61
62Steps involved in updating the Golf Society data :-
63
64Import the CSV file data
65
66Match the CSV player name with the "New Details" member name
67Update the Adjusted Score i.e. CSV score + the Current Bonus. The Adjusted score will be blank if the member didn't play.
68
69I have done the updates to the spreadsheet manually to highlight the changes to be automated.

You understand correctly what I am trying to achieve. To help you get a clearer picture I manually imported the data from a csv file to illustrate the issues that I am having - i.e. trying to populate columns M to P with the correct data from the other columns. If I could automate the import of the csv file as well, that would be great.
Thank you.

I have the data importing just from from the csv file.

let focus on just Kenny B,
1. Column L: his previous handicap was 12 (cells H25) write the new handicap of 13 from the import and write to cell L25.
2. Column M: (Adjusted store) is new score from import of 27, Plus current bonus of negative 3.
3. Column O: Countback is just copied straight form the import file.

4. Column N: Not sure how you got 6 when the csv file has 1
5. Column P: how did you get the negative 2.5 ????

let me know
