How many people use excel?

Airhog · 04-29-2003, 01:28 PM

Do many people here use excel with their teams?

Franklinnoble · 04-29-2003, 01:33 PM

To do what?

To track player values, ratings, your team economy, your game ratings, a whole bunch of fun stuff...

If you had not figured, yeah, I use excel

Brillig · 04-29-2003, 01:39 PM

I do, even if Excel is a product of the Great Satan.

vex · 04-29-2003, 01:42 PM

I track my training.

Franklinnoble · 04-29-2003, 01:42 PM

Hmm... like I need to spend any more time with hattrick...

Then again... it would LOOK like I'm doing real work around here...

EXACTLY!!! Nothing look more like an excel spreadsheet than another excel spreadsheet

Oh and I forgot one other thing I do with excel: THE RANKINGS!!!

Like I said, I track my training, but I forgot, I only have Works

Franklinnoble · 04-29-2003, 02:06 PM

Would an Access database work better?

It certainly would, but when you work some 8 hours a day with excel and transferring and analysing data in and out of excel spreadsheets, you get used to it

There's also the fact that I don't feel like learning Access...

FM
PS: other thing I do with my excel spreadsheet is that it gives me a numerical value for players at every one of the main position they can play. Then, when shopping on the transfer market, I can analyze quickly if a certain player will fit on my roster and actually improve it...

Franklinnoble · 04-29-2003, 03:22 PM

Hmm... if someone wrote a kickass Access database to import and track player data, it'd be REAL handy... anyone here know Access? Or am I gonna have to get off my ass and figure it out?

TredWel · 04-29-2003, 03:33 PM

I calculate positional player ratings with Excel, and mark off who's getting trained this week, but not much else.

The only other piece of software was a Java program I wrote to highlight interesting players on a page of info from a transfer search. But, I'm trying to shy away from the market for the time being (back in debt, sigh), so testing on that software is halted.

DukeRulesMAB · 04-29-2003, 03:52 PM

I've got a 4-page spreadsheet for each week of action so far (all 2 of them). Yes, I am a geek.

I could use this exact same sentence. Microsoft Works is a bit of an oxymoron though isn't it?

MikeVic · 04-29-2003, 05:52 PM

I was going to write a Java, Java Applet, C, or C++ program for hattrick... but didn't know what I would want it to do

The .hrf file really use a nice format for this stuff... anyone who knows some programming knows it doesn't seem hard to read in the values and so something with it

Franklinnoble · 04-29-2003, 06:03 PM

I'm cutting my teeth as a recreational C++ programmer... maybe if I ever get past "Day 4" of "Teach Yourself Visual C++ in 21 Days" I'll do something about it...

lytic · 04-29-2003, 09:28 PM

TP does C++

anyway... I spent the $7 or whatever on HAM. I don't have time to tinker.

Ditto. HAM does everything I need and if I decide I need something else, Loke seems to be pretty quick with reasonable feature requests.

fantastic flying froggies · 04-30-2003, 01:25 AM

Use excel and hattrick Poli myself. Haven't spent the dough for HAM. Yet...

I don't recall there being any amphibians on my family tree, but stranger things have happened (ok, not really, but you get the point...).

No I'm not lytic

I forked over the $7 for HAM though.
