How's it going?! Thanks for this tutorial! I was fiddling on last Friday night trying to sort out a league table for my amateur footy league (Not the Aussie Footy). This has helped me heaps. I'm trying to get into the field of data analytics and generally think I'm fairly competent on Excel, but this tutorial has proven me wrong. Top lad!

Thank you! This was immensely helpful!

[@theohaigy]

I've done a few of these from other videos and I'm impressed you haven't used Name Manager. I've got a 35 league workbook which incorporates everything from the PL, EFL, NL, right down to the regional leagues - plus cups - but my next move is to try and consolidate these tabs into one tab. 35 leagues means 35 tabs, plus cups. There must surely be a way to have fixtures for, say, 4 leagues in one tab, then level 5 to 7 (7 leagues) into the next tab and have cups running alongside these fixtures. I'll give your video a go over the next few weeks and see how it goes.

[@excel_ladz]

Great lad, and thanks for the support! Let me know how you go. If you have any questions or video ideas, please reply to this comment as I am looking to expand the business.

[@jugame1439]

Thanks for the tutorial, my league table turned out great! I’m just curious as to when you’ll show us how to change the table by matchday (what you’re showing at the end of the video). I would love to have this feature on my spreadsheet!

[@raymondcpl]

Thanks for a great video. Years ago, I created an excel for the PL, but in a less elegant way. (1) How would you go about a line chart, say, showing the top 6 teams, over the entire season but on a week by week basis (2) Keeping track of the top scorers, again on a weekly (match day) basis, and lastly (3) now some teams get points deduction for breaking fair play rules. How should I handle that.

[@keithstewart8730]

Excellent video have you done the follow up video how to return a league table as of a round?

[@WinterGreenout]

Unbelievably helpful video. Are you able to make a video on how to show the ladder round by round? Can't seem to find it on your channel. Cheers!

[@HandzSome]

Im having some trouble with my table. it isnt calculating how many matches have been played for each team and also the goals difference is calculating correctly. one team has more goals then another but its putting this team 3rd instead of 2nd. can anyone help? this is on Google Docs. thanks

[@DanielleMaimeeTIMO]

This has been super helpful to create league table for our local league, thank you! One question - the rules of our league give 1 point for scoring 75% of the winnings team score. How do I add this into the formula please? I've tried playing about, but nothing is successful so far, any help would be much appreciated! :)

[@1DoubleD69]

Hi. What do I do if instead of points for win, draw, loss i just want to put in points on the table is the same as they score. Like snooker where a score is 5 frames to 3 where you get 5 points for winning 5 and other player gets 3 points for winning 3 frames? Great vid. Thanks

[@ftwgamer710]

Very helpful video! I would like to add the form of each team (last 5 matches). Do you have any idea how?

[@janprochazka7579]

Thanks a lot for this video. Just a question. If i want to have a "position" column depending on points, score... how to do it? i mean... lets say two teams have exactly same points, score and goal difference? how do u do it? Thanks.

[@randomguy1401]

I need help. I'm on Google Sheets and when I autofill for the home points formula the J column moves down as well for example if it's C22 it'll say J22 not J2 like I want it to if Home team wins. Is there a way to fix this or is it just Excel that can do this?

[@CosminCJ]

Hy man. Thanks for the video. I'm using Excel 2019 and i don't have "sequence" function. How do I manage to solve the problem with the table after we create it? To sort clubs after points, goals for, goals againts etc? Thank you

[@captsam5197]

Great video bro ! it helps me a lot ! ... but its untilat minute 16:18, when you say "... I AM GOING TO SPILL THE AMOUNT OF TEAMS..." - i followed carefully every step, but my data didnt "spill".... can you help me ? thanks. love your videos

[@excel_ladz]

Hi lad, “spill” is getting to the dynamic nature of the SEQUENCE function, which “spills” an array. This function is only available on Excel 2019 and newer. As a result, your errors may be appearing due to your Excel version’s inability to support array functions such as SEQUENCE and SORT. To fix this, I recommend watching my video titled “Create fixture list and league table in Excel” video. This will explain how to build a league table in the same format, but using functions every version of Excel has access to 👍

[@johnnio99]

How do you add "deducted points" off a team? I have done this for Championship and Sheff Utd are ahead, but they were deducted 2 pts for breaches last year.

[@g_4_21]

Great video bro👍🏻. One question are these the formulas for the latest updated version of excel?

[@excel_ladz]

Hi lad, yea they are 👍 Although, if you have an older version of Excel, you can follow the instructions at the end of this video in order to make a League Table: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoeac6F6ncdgn5I&pp=ygUdRXhjZWwgbGFkeiBmaXh0dXJlcyBnZW5lcmF0b3I%3D

[@g_4_21]

@@excel_ladz 💯 thanks bro

[@ambientauras]

Also my sort array didn’t work at the end is that bc I manually input the team names so they have no corresponding data and bc of my shortcut for the points formula?

[@excel_ladz]

Hi lad, can you tell me exactly what happens/appears when you try to use the SORT Function to get the Final League Table? That way it would be slightly easier to pinpoint your mistake lad 👍 It shouldn’t be because of your shortcut in the points formula, but you can always try the method explained in the video and see if that works for some reason 💪

[@ambientauras]

@@excel_ladz thanks for replying bro 👊 the error its returning is “SORT range must be a single row of a single column”

[@jenson_hsv1887]

Really great video. Unfortunately the commands don't work for two fields, but they do for the rest

[@excel_ladz]

Thanks for watching lad 🔥 Yes, the SEQUENCE and XLOOKUP functions are only available to Excel 2019 and newer. Have a look at the second half of the “Creating Fixtures and League Table” video on my channel where the commands are available for all users 👍

[@MusikPiratCH]

I don't understand why you do this (at least in my view) not needed step with "Home points" and "Away points". There is a three-way-betting called 1, X, 2 for Home, draw, and Away you could use instead! Then you only need one additional column to the matches. You can also easily count how many games were won (home and on the road) and how many draws and losses were reached (as well home and away)! Another information could be interesting for the 38 rounds. 19 were the first part and from 20 to 38 were the second part.This way you could see in 5 tables how a team got its points. Personally I'd always do the home and away tables first because it allows me to do these COUNTIFS only once fot each (win, draw, loss). I then simply add up the wins, drasws and losses to reach played matches!

[@Animoody]

Hey mate, great video tutorial. One thing I’m struggling with at the moment is that my wins, draws, and losses values aren’t appearing to update. Is there any way of fixing this? Also, when I open up the excel file, it comes up with a message which says my workbooks need to be updated. Is this an issue by any chance? Thanks again!

[@excel_ladz]

Thanks lad 🔥 It’s very unusual for the ‘Update’ message to appear building this spreadsheet, as it doesn’t use a Power Query to import website data… Maybe Excel is asking you to download the newest version 🤔 To fix your issue, try playing around with each COUNTIFS function. Try and isolate the problem by changing values and seeing if the COUNTIFS function reacts… Or, your issue may be that your version of Excel does not support the SORT function. Let me know how it goes lad 👍

[@Animoody]

Hey mate, I figured out my issue with the values not showing up! It turns out that I typed in the wrong table name for giving the 2nd criteria, which is why the values weren’t updating. I’ll know for next time though! Thanks again for your help, I’m just a little dyslexic at times xD.

[@warrenpiggott9686]

This is an amazing video, wow. I am just having one error. Everything works fine except i seem to be having some trouble when goals for/against. it seems to work fine for some of my teams but not others. all formulas were absolute referenced etc but can't seem to get it right. any ideas?

[@excel_ladz]

Hi lad, it depends on the error. Some versions of Excel don't have access to XLOOKUP, so the VLOOKUP function is required instead. Based on your comment, it doesn't seem to be the issue 👍 I would double check that the criteria you are searching for is in the lookup range, otherwise the XLOOKUP has nothing to return... 💪

[@Taffy7974]

Mm interesting. I’m in a league prediction with 12 friends. Home win 2 points, away win 3 points draw 4 points. If correct score add 5 points if over 4 goals add other 5 points.

Hi. Is there a way to calculate each team's attack and defense level between 10 and 200. I want to give Premier League teams their levels all the way down to League Two. And of course the League Two champions' levels should be quite a lot lower than the Premier League champions' levels. Please upload a video on it

[@Stupefy1111]

i have a problem where with the home/away points the cell im telling the function to get moves down with the other cells

[@DSMTVS]

Hello. I'm having trouble with the SORT function. Any clues?

[@excel_ladz]

Hi lad, SORT is one of the new array functions introduced by Excel. So, if you’re following everything I’ve done in the video and you still have no luck, it might be because your version of Excel doesn’t actually support SORT. This would be apparent if you’re getting a #NAME? error 👍

[@christopherosariemeniyangb76]

Many thanks for this great model. Will this model work in a Google sheet?. Is it also possible to have autogenerated fixtures and populate league standings sorted by date (month) because I want to use it for a private league. Finally, I also want to have dashboard that displays team streaks of winning/loosing/drawing. I will be expecting a favorable response from you.

[@excel_ladz]

Hi lad, so my next video is creating a model that will autogenerate fixtures in Excel 🔥 . That'll be uploaded in the next couple days hopefully. As for the dashboards, I can always build on the video and show everybody some techniques in displaying a team's form 👍

How can I predict the position of a team using the past 10 year data for the same team like their past position, points, goal scored, goal conceded, wins, draw, lose ect.

[@excel_ladz]

Hi lad, if I understand correctly, you want to simulate (and thereby predict)a whole season using a team’s past data. To do this simply, collect a running average of the team’s attack and defence strength. Then, do this for every other team in the league. Once that is done, it is possible to use a simulation technique, such as using the BINOM.INV function to simulate every game in the schedule, based off of each team’s strength. Then, you would compile every team’s positions; which you could simulate more times to see a distribution of results. Thanks for watching lad, I plan to release a video on this concept very soon 🔥

[@ambientauras]

Thanks for the tutorial bro! For your points formula, can’t you just do (Wx3)+D

[@excel_ladz]

Thanks for watching lad 🔥 Absolutely! For the sake of the video I wanted to do things the longer way, so that if subscribers had any errors it would be easier to spot for them… I’m glad you’ve taken an interest in the model lad 👍

[@henninghansen4073]

Hi there! I am making a competition with some friends by guessing the result of each football match through a season. If you guess correct "Win/Draw/Defeat" you get 1 point and if you guess correct "Win/Draw/Defeat" and the correct goals scored in the match, you get 2 points. These points has been made into a table in excel. The table will be updated after each round has been played. The table uses RANK and INDEX.MATCH to calculate who is 1st 2nd 3rd and so on... Is it somehow possible to do this? - If a person climbs on the table it will show a green arrow and a number beside how many "rows" the person has climbed? For example if the person on 6th place climbs to 4th place, it will show a green arrow and the number "2" beside the arrow. - If a person falls on the table it will show a red arrow and a number beside how many "rows" the person has fallen. For example if the person on 7th place falls to 8th place, it will show a red arrow and the number "1" beside the arrow. - If a person stays on the same place it will show a yellow arrow pointing to the right. I hope this was understandable and i hope it is a formula for this :D. Thank you!

[@excel_ladz]

Thanks for commenting lad. Obviously I can't give you an exact formula, but I can give you a couple ideas on how to build this in Excel. Off the top of my head, you could use the SUMIF and OFFSET functions. You would use the SUMIF function to add each person's points in the competition. Then, perhaps by using the OFFSET function within the SUMIF function, you may be able to fund a person's points as of a particular round in the competition. Then, as you said, using the RANK.EQ function you can work out how much a player has fallen or risen in the rankings. Also, for the arrows you were talking about. You can access those by going into 'conditional formatting', then clicking on 'Icon Sets', then clicking on the 3 Arrows.

[@henninghansen4073]

Thank you for your fast response, i will try what you wrote :) Also I am trying to learn more about excel, so I made this league table you show in this video, and everything seemed to work fine except the last formula for sorting the table. Just to inform you I am doing this on a mac so where you put your "," i need to put a ";". I tried to use this formula: =SORT(B24:J39;(9;8;6);-1) Excel does not accept that formula... Excel changes it to: =SORT(B24:J39;(9,86);-1) Because of this, the table only sorts by the points and not goal difference and goals scored. if i have understood how the formula works, its not that strange the formula dont work as i want to, because it first sorts by column 9 and then by column 86. Do you have any advice for whats wrong and/or how i can fix it?😀

[@excel_ladz]

@@henninghansen4073 I use Excel on Mac too and I use a ","... With the formula that wasn't accepted, make sure you use the "curly" brackets which are these: { }. So your formula should work if it's: =SORT(B24:J39,{9,8,6},-1) Try that, and let me know how it goes lad!

How to create Olympic Medal Ranking using Excel?

[@excel_ladz]

Thanks for asking @Kucing Comey. I would have all the events you wanted to include in your 'Medal Ranking' table formatted in columns across like this: Discipline, Event, Gold Medal, Silver Medal, Bronze Medal (and if you wanted to include 4th, 5th, ... you can). This would be in its own worksheet perhaps titled 'Events'. Then when creating the Olympic Medal Ranking table in another worksheet, your 'y-value' on the left-hand side are the countries in your data (which can be found by using the UNIQUE function as in the video), and the column headers along the top are Gold Medal, Silver Medal, Bronze Medal. For the first cell in the Gold Medal column and beside the first country in your list, use the COUNTIF function (range being the list of gold medal teams in the worksheet 'Events', and criteria being the country beside the cell). Autofill this down to your bottom country and do the same process for Silver Medal and Bronze Medal columns. Then, you can sort this array by creating another table and using the same method I used in my video (The SORT function). Remember to use the curly brackets to list the order in which you want to sort by - Gold Medals, then Silver Medals, then Bronze Medals. Finally, make sure you write '-1' at the end of the formula before closing the brackets so that it is ordered in descending order (meaning the team with the most gold medals is ranked first). Hope this helps.
