SuperJohn96's Annual NFL Schedule Grid - 2008 Edition (1 Viewer)

Someone creates an NCAA Football helmet grid every year that I get my hands on. I like the look, so I decided to pimp out SuperJohns96's annual grid. Please check for accuracy.

NCAA Football Helmet Schedule

[http://www.fileshack.us/get_file.php?id=71996&file=NFL_Schedule_2008.xls]NFL Helmet Schedule

(This is SuperJohn96's original excel file, but a new "Helmet" tab added near the end.)

* Edited to include IndyHavoc's edits. There were a few errors, and he made home games more distinguishable.

Hey Q, trying to figure out a better way to show home/away. I might try to PaintShop the helmet icons with a grey background for away games? Or am I just too daft to see the "bold" very well?

Yeah, wasn't sure how to do this. I have access to a plotter, so I am going to put all of the helmet schedules on a 36x48 to hang on my wall. At that size I think the bold should be sufficient. It's kind of hard to select an individual cell once you have the image in it, so I did it before adding the images.
 
Got it! Just turn on a 1/4" border on the pictures that are "Home" games. So, the helmets get a thin black border to home games, no border for away games.

Looks awesome man! Great work. And to SuperJohn as well! Think I'll do the same for a wall poster. Very chic.

One change I made was to freeze the top rows and left columns. This helps me keep track of what dates/weeks and what teams I am looking at when I scroll down or right. If you are printing it out this won't matter, but if you are viewing it on the monitor it helps alot.

Here's what you do:

Click in the upper left (@SF) cell.

Click on Window on the top tool bar and click Freeze Panes.

You will have to repeat this for all of the worksheets (tabs).

For the helmet grid you need to make sure you click in the cell and not on the helmet picture itself.

HTH

You can use Conditional Formating to do exactly what you want and you'll probably be able to see it better than the "outline method" described.

Here's what I did:

1-on the ACC Tab: click on cell B3 (this the Boston College @Kent St matchup)

2-Conditional Format this cell to recognize Away Games (ie, any away game that starts with an "@").

Goto: Format, Conditional Format.

Change the Condition 1 drop down to say "Formula Is"......."=AND(LEFT(B3,1)="@")"

FYI: This takes cell B3 and cuts off the text so that only the 1st character is evaluated.

FYI2: The only formulas that you can use for Conditional formats is one that ultimately returns a TRUE or FALSE answer.

Pick what color you want (I picked Gray)

3-Copy this format to the other cells.

Copy cell B3. (I'm a Ctrl-C type of guy.)

Hi-light the paste area with your mouse.

Goto: Edit, PASTE SPECIAL

Select "Format" and hit OK.

Be careful as you don't want to paste this format on everything and override some of the cells with the Conference Titles, etc.... in them as they are merged cells.

Worked for me! Good Luck.
