Why not just enter the regular number in the columns, and just do the formula in the total column? Just enter the wins in Columns B thru G Then in H put the formula. H3 would have, with x1 thru x5 replaced with your numbers. =B3*x1+c3*x2+d3*x3+e3*x4+g3*x5 Otherwise, you could enter the number in one column, and have the formula to multiply it in the next.
