For the tekkie people out there, regarding computer programmes

Well iPad really.
Someone who I knows does a football competition where you pick four teams out of each league. After every game the totals from these teams are added up to form a league table. At the end of the season prizes are paid out from the end positions.
He's not doing it this season and I was thinking of taking over. He used to do the results manually, I was wondering if there's a programme I can use to make it easier. Thanks.

 

Be easy enough with an Excel Spreadsheet. Did a similar thing myself a few years ago. We predicted top three and bottom three from each division. Points were awarded relative to position e.g. If you picked a team for top of the championship and they were 6th, you got 6 points. If you picked a team for bottom and they were 6th you got 19 points. Lowest points scorer overall was top of the table. Just used a series of look-up tables and macros to look-up the team in the league table and award the points relative to their position. All I did was download the league table from the same website every week, click on a macro button and the spreadsheet did the rest.

 

Can you get excel on iPad mate

 

Excel is a Microsoft product so I doubt it but I would have thought that Apple would have an equivalent spreadsheet application which would be able to do the same job. Is the I-Pad the only option? I could dig out that Excel spreadsheet when I'm back at work tomorrow and e-mail it to you.

 

Yeah got rid of the laptop, I will have a look at spreadsheet apps on iPad cheers mate.

 

Use Google Docs web based apps. They have spreadsheets, document and presentation apps. They're now part of Google Drive.
All docs / spreadsheets can be shared out so others can see. I use em for doing work lottery syndicate. In fact works just dumped Microsoft Exchange and were moving to google (email and apps).

you can get an app called "CloudOn"

it's free and gives you Microsoft web apps
