For a real fan, it is not always enough to look at the tournament tables on the Internet sites. It is always more interesting to keep statistics of the matches played, to conduct analytics, to build graphs of the teams' efficiency and to predict the results of matches based on the calculations performed.

The table "created in the program" Excel "will help you with this. Based on the data in the table, you can not only track the time of the games, but also analyze the results of the games, plan the results of future games.

How to make a Tournament Table in Excel.

First, you need to draw a "table header". The header contains the dates of the games, the locations of the matches, the names of the teams, the results of the matches played: the number of goals scored and conceded, the number of wins, losses and games played in a draw.

In the column "Days left until the match." a formula is introduced that calculates how many days are left before the match: “ = IF ((C2-TODAY ())> 0; C2-TODAY (); "Passed") ".

The column "Number of games" contains a formula that automatically calculates the number of games played by a team: "= COUNTIF ($ F $ 2: F2; F2)"

On the sheet with the schedule - the standings are displayed pivot table, which, when updated, counts the goals scored and conceded, as well as the number of victories.

Let's now figure out how to create beautiful, complex tables, such as a leaderboard.

First, let's look at how to make a complex hat. The easiest way to draw it. Moreover, you can draw the entire table completely using the command Insert - Table - Draw Entire Table , or you can first create a table in the usual way, specifying the number of columns and rows, and then add a header to it.

Let's take a look at the second option. Create a regular table, place the cursor anywhere inside the table, and two additional tabs appear in the open one: Constructor and Layout .

Click on the tab Constructor ... In this tab on the right, you will see two commands: Draw table and Eraser... With the help of them you can draw new columns and rows, separate cells, and merge them, erasing the borders between them.

You can even draw an oblique line from one corner to the opposite corner of the cell. And using the Fill command, you can fill a cell with any color.

You can style a table in Word 2007 very nicely by choosing its style in the tab Constructor - Styles ... And after that, you can also edit the style using the command Fill .

Sometimes it becomes necessary to rotate text in a cell 90 degrees. In Word 2007, this is done like this: put the cursor in the cell, the text of which you want to rotate, press the right key, and select in context menu command Text direction ... After that, choose one of the options offered.

Now let's go to the tab Layout... In this tab there are commands for merging and splitting cells. To combine, select several cells, and select the appropriate command.

Also in the tab Layout you can show and hide the grid. By going to Properties, you can define the alignment of the table, the alignment of the contents of the cells with the height of the cell, and the height of the rows and the width of the columns. The latter feature is very useful if you cannot make the column widths the same by simply dragging and dropping.

Using the command Delete you can delete various elements of the table, and the entire table as a whole.

In a group of teams Cell size you can write the exact width and height for the cells, just like you can do it with the command Properties .

In a group of teams Alignment you can register the alignment of the contents of cells in height and width, and using the command Text direction rotate text 90 degrees. Using the command Cell margins you can make the spacing between the cells, match the margins between the content and the borders of the cells, and select, if necessary, the option Auto-fit width to content .
