***OFFICIAL*** FFA MLB Draft (3 Viewers)

You can use =concatenate to make those two columns one and then do your vlookup.Can you type up a little example of what you're looking for?
Bonds Barry bondba01In order to get the ID (bondba01), I have a VLOOKUP formula looking up Bonds. But, it could also bring up his father. It doesn't because Barry is first alphabetically but for other players this isn't the case. I need it to look up the first two columns so I can get the third.bondba01 2002 35Then, in another column, I need another VLOOKUP formula to use the data from the third (bondba01) along with the year (2002) to get the Win Shares (35).Make sense?
So if I got this right you have two spreadsheets:1. The first spreadhsheet has three columns, one with the last name, one with first name and one with the ID. Bonds | Barry | bondba012. The second spreadsheet has the ID, year and win shares.bondba01 | 2002 | 35If that's what you've got then I'd just concatenate the two name columns together on sheet1 =concatenate(cell1," ",cell2). Then I'd do a vlookup on sheet2 looking at player id and pulling back the name.

My thoughts exactly....if the words Todd Zeile and all-star don't go together how does Todd Zeile and all-time great go together :shrug:
hey, he ranks pretty high with players whose last name starts with "Z". :bag:
In his 3rd best year (according to WIS.com), he hit 31 HR's and 90 RBI's.You telling me that's bad for a 4th bench player who can also play Catcher?

Edit: Actually, he's my 5th bench player.

Nope....it's bad for an all time draft. Sorry but if this was a Larry Boy pick he'd be getting flogged.

At this point in the draft, I'm looking for verastility. I'd take a guy like Zeile over a slightly more talented 3B or 1B that can only play 1 position. Zeile can play 3. Plus, how often is the guy gonna play?Seriously

Well once you get done sim- :fishing: ...you'll be happy to note your looking at his 4th best year. His 3rd according to WIS was 99 when he hit 24. ;)

Ok, I understand that. A guy that can play C and 3B but damn.....Todd Zeile and alltime MLB draft just don't go together well.
 
For those of us that forgot how to use excel well, how do we sort by win share? :bag:
Highlight all. (ctrl+a)Go to data, choose sort. (alt+d, enter)Use the pull down to select win shares, then choose descending.

IS that so? That's good because:A. he hit .293 that year vs .268 in '97

B. had more RBI's

C. had a higher sluffing %

Thanks for pointing that out, I appreciate it.

BTW, why the hubub for a bench player?

but a true all-time draft doesn't hold position into account... it just is saying who is the greatest players of all time...This is about making a team that can play, so, that means it doesn't necessarily mean draft the greatest player and go, although it is like that for the first few rounds...

You're right though. LB would be torn a new one for that pick. :boxing:

Sort of. I have three sheets. 1) One I have just the last and first names and am trying to retrieve the ID. This is a team list from this draft.2) The second will have the last name, first name, and the ID. This is the master list of players and IDs. This is where I'm trying to pull the ID from.3) The third is a list of all players, seasons, and win shares. I'm trying to use the ID and season to pull the number of Win Shares from this one.Concatenate will work but it'll take a bunch of manual work since I really have a sheet for each team (instead of how I listed it in #1 above as one sheet).

I think I'd have to have them in front of me to be of any use. If you like, you can email all three of them to me and I can take a look at it. :nerd:
 
This has been the longest thread in FFA history since the last five pages.Congratulations
wait until we do the full-53 man roster NFL draft...
:shock: Ffffifty three? Who will be the first to not make it to the end? I'm 36 now so smart money's on me.
yeah, I've seen a few people (I'm one of them) interested in doing an NFL draft...that sucker's gonna be long...

Screw it. The list Capella sent me has six names on it. Five still remain. Cap might be off somewhere thinking, "I sent a list ... I won't be holding up the draft."

Since I took a pitcher for him last round, I'll go with his highest remaining position player:

23.04 2B Bill Mazeroski

Hope that's OK, Cap.
