Creating a scoresheet

Question

I am trying to automate the weekly process of score sheets for our local club. We have three worksheets:

1 worksheet for main print form,  
1 worksheet with all teams and players names, and  
1 sheet with all the scheduling detail (identified by a GameID).  

I have it automated so that if I select a GameID from a drop-down list on the print form it will put in details for the corresponding game (venue, time, date, teams).

What I would like it to do there is, from the team names that are selected for that game, to populate the list of players names into cells on the print form so they can sign off who played. I figured I need to do one formula and cut/paste it for the 7-10 spots in each team.

Is this going to be possible in Excel?

Answer 1

I have made some assumptions.

The sheet with all teams and players looks of this nature:

where the content of the outlined box is a range named players. I have assumed you do not need signatures for 'opponents' or that 7-10 spots is the total for both sides in any one game.

The scheduling sheet (I've called Schedule) is for me needed only for testing purposes:

The main print form sheet (I’ve called print) looks vaguely like so:

The table at the top again is for testing purposes. I would anticipate only the row showing validation would be required.

The formulae in B10:B19 are:

 =VLOOKUP($A$2,players,ROW()-8,0) 

in B10 copied down. Note that if placed in a different row the -8 would need adjusting.
