How to move up/down multiple rows?

Can excel rows move up and down freely?

  • I'm trying to create a table for a sports league using excel. My question is, since i can figure it out. Say Team A is in Row 1. Team B is in Row 2. What dictates who is in first place or not is the amount of points accumulated by the teams. What I want to do is for the rows to be able to adjust themselves in their positioning just by the number of points they have. Is this possible, if not then what can I do to achieve this?

  • Answer:

    You can do it by sorting your database by the highest points column or use this (creates a list of the places automatically) Col A team, col B points C2 =RANK(B2,B:B,0) + COUNTIF(B$2:B2,B2)-1 D2 =INDEX(A:A, MATCH(SMALL(C:C,ROWS($1:1)) ,C:C,0) E2 =INDEX(B:B, MATCH(SMALL(C:C,ROWS($1:1)) ,C:C,0)) Copy C2 to E2 down to match cols A&B
