Why not have a row for every player, no need for the dropdown then, and the formulae just apply to that row's player.
I'm helping with a disc golf tournament this weekend and the tournament director asked that I come up with a solution to save time adding scores between rounds.
The Excel file has three tabs - 'Scores', 'Day 1 Rounds', 'Day 2 Rounds'.
Scores has the Players' names and scores for the four rounds (two on day 1, two on day 2).
The 'Scores' tab looks like:
Rd1 Rd2 Rd3 Rd4
Name
I have these formulas in the Rd1 - Rd4 cells
=SUMIF($R68,Day1_Round1,'Day 1 Rounds'!$V$2)
=SUMIF($R68,Day1_Round2,'Day 1 Rounds'!$V$7)
=SUMIF($R68,Day2_Round1,'Day 1 Rounds'!$V$2)
=SUMIF($R68,Day2_Round2,'Day 1 Rounds'!$V$7)
The 'Day 1 Rounds' and 'Day 2 Rounds' add the scores for each hole. There is a pull-down box to grab the player's name.
The idea is that the SUMIF formulas grab the scores from the 'Day 1 Rounds', 'Day 2 Rounds' tabs. The problem is (and I apologize for being so long-winded) is that when I change the player's name in the pull-down box, it changes the scores on the 'Scores' tab.
How do I ensure that the scores don't change on the 'Scores' tab once I've entered the scores on the 'Day 1 Rounds', 'Day 2 Rounds' tabs?
I know I need to adjust the SUMIF formulas.
Please let me know if this makes sense.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Fister

I'd be skipping the formula aspect and doing this in a PivotTable. Example attached.
