Populating a Matrix from a Table
Re: Re 1 — Yes, and the volume of information gets "better", as you will see in my responses to your notes.
Re: Re 2 — You will see the problems in the second attached workbook. result2 is the (intententional) cause of the duplication, not involved in prevention of such. The LENgth functions are just another way of checking for empty strings.
If your Flight + Match combinations are unique, you won't get "contradictory results" by changing boat/team/skipper names. (But rematches late in the regatta would be a problem, which we've not discussed.)
Re: Smokey and the Bandit — No, I never knew that, as I did not watch those movies.
HansVogelaar,
I like your solution, but I also like peiyeshu's solution that has each cell of the matrix showing the result for both the row and column boat, like this:
Is there a way to use XLOOKUP to do this?
How about this?
