Hi all,<br />
I wanted to check if the teams this year have played in all the five previous years. I've attached a spreadsheet to show you what I've done. What I'm doing isn't working which is why I'm asking for help. I've used the function below.<br />
<br />
=SUMPRODUCT(--('7-8'!$D$2:<wbr />$D$307=B2)<wbr />,--('8-9'!<wbr />$D$2:$D$30<wbr />7=B2),--('<wbr />9-10'!$D$2<wbr />:$D$307=B2<wbr />),--('10-1<wbr />1'!$D$2:$D<wbr />$307=B2),-<wbr />-('11-12'!<wbr />$D$2:$D$30<wbr />7=B2))<br />
<br />
B2 would be the team names cell.<br />
<br />
The thing is that I had it working only for the bottom 3 teams at one stage but I know there are more teams that qualify.<br />
<br />
Any help gratefully received.<br />
<br />
Regards to all.<br />
Dave<br />
