Trying to do too much?

[Mike L.]

I have a column (well, multiple columns, but I can copy the formula
from column to column) that is an age group/class (baseball
tournaments). Then, then 4 rows of top teams in the tournament, then
the amount of teams in the tournament. The next cell starts a new
tournament (with 4 top teams, then the amount of teams)

So it's like;
New York
LA
Chicago
Memphis
14
LA
Montreal
Chicago
Austin
22

What I need to give each city a value based on their place and the
amount of teams in the tournament.

It is;
<7; 1st=2, 2nd=1, 3rd=.5
8-13: 1st=4, 2nd=2, 3rd=1, 4th=.5

14; 1st=6, 2nd=4, 3rd=2, 4th=1

Is there a way to do this? Would I have to make a column that assigns
values of cells depending on the amount of teams? I'm kind of lost, if
anyone can gimme an idea of where to go, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks!

One way:
=IF(MOD(ROW(),5)=0,"",VLOOKUP(OFFSET(A1,5-MOD(ROW(),5),0),Points!$A$2:$E$4,MOD(ROW(),5)+1,1))

Beware: it's all based on row number: firts team name MUST be on row 1

It uses a lookup table in sheet Points

Thanks, that's almost exactly what I want to do, how would I then have
a group of cells at the bottom (or wherever), that have a running total
how many points each team has gotten? We may have up to 25 different
teams in the top four, then 15 age divisions. Is there a way to
automatically generate a list of teams that have placed, then display
how many points each of these teams has accumulated (this would be the
number generated by the aforementioned formula),

But, wow, that works quite well. Thanks a lot!

Please post some sample data, so I can figure out what you have, and what
you want.

You can upload your workbook on http://cjoint.com/ and post back the link.
(the site is in french, but it's pretty esy to use)

Like I said, what I need is a list of teams (at the bottom, or
whatever) for each Age/Division (Each column can be completely seperate
for all intents and purposes) with the given point structure. Although
the amount of teams in each tournament will be the 5th cell in the
column, which will decide how many points each team gets, I don't have
the data yet.

My mistake! I uploaded the wrong file.

This is correct;
