Not sure what function to use and how.

[lechlibl]

I am doing a class project and within the project is a win and loss schedule
for a team. I wondered if there was a function that would take the word win
or loss from a column so I can place is into another column to have a running
total of wins and losses. Maybe a If function? I hope that makes sense.

Results Record
Won ?????
Lost ??????
Won
Lost

Perhaps you are looking for countif?

=Countif(A1:A10,"Won")

Try this:

=COUNTIF(A$1:A1,"won")&" - "&COUNTIF(A$1:A1,"lost")

Copy down as needed.
