Hi all.
Following on from Micky's comments, I have made today's removers slightly more difficult.
As there is no rollover, we don't have room to put horses 20/1+ in our perms so they are "mostly" not in LIGHT BLUE.
If however something is significantly backed that isn't in the shortlist feel free to bring it to my attention:
PLEASE REMOVE
TWENTY OF THE LIGHT BLUE INCLUDING AT LEAST
ONE IN EACH LEG:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1W5u_ug3M0JSgHFjK1WdWZbLpkTTLZgRMX7EuzphBcr4/edit#gid=0Cheers,

Please note when making amendments after 11.10am, it is likely that I will be updating the sheet at the same time, so the appearance may look difference as I reveal and hide columns/rows etc.
So take care with your updates.
GL!
New features include:
1) Auto generated selections count (so you can see as you go along how many more you need to do, and it also feeds in directly to the scoring system.) Also tells you how many selections you have remaining
The cell under your USERID in row 6 will be red, but goes yellow when less than 4 left and green when you have done all removals required. It will go red again if you remove too many. If a selection is deleted because it is a Non Runner, it will go yellow to highlight this.
2) Automatic "number of lines" counter and perm cost generation
3) LAT price permanently populated and will change as prices change, but LAT prices of all legs will be fixed after first race starts.
4) Price changes more easily visible for me when creating the perms along with conveniently positioned duplicate merged list totals.
5) Removals Merged list totals automatically created.
6) Automatic Removals Leader Board creation.
I hope you will embrace the changes, I know it's all fluid, but want to get things as slick as possible in preparation for 2018.
Cheers,
G
FYI. Roger, I have made most of these changes on the base template too (ROGERS_GOOGLE_REMOVERS_TEMPLATE) now, so as discussed before, please always use this as your baseline.
Also if there are over twelve runners in any one leg. Please can you insert a row ABOVE line 12 and then copy line 12 into the new row etc. This way formulas will be maintained. Any questions, let me know.
I know it has been a learning curve for all, but I do hope that the new system brings more ease and enjoyment into the process.
It is certainly easier to maintain up-to-date REMOVER's and NAP's leader boards which I know was something that a lot of people wanted.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
G
P.S. As you probably gathered I decided to pull an "all nighter", OCD kicked in as I started to play with the templates. :=)

Can someone transfer to google sheet for me please.
A lot of stuff underneath it all that you can't see.
So the system only works if people stick to their own column, unless they have an official administrative role.
Also with Non Runners I like to see the betting pattern before they became a NR, which you inadvertently removed.
I know your intentions were good, so no problem.
As a general rule, unless admin, the only cells you should ever update are green, yellow or white.
So please do post NR's here and/or on NAPS thread, but leave me or an admin guy to update sheet.
If you want to learn more about it to do admin roles at a later date, let me know, I will be happy to go through stuff, but we can get in serious "trouble with formulas" if people update cells they are not supposed to.
Like I said, I know your intentions were good and I appreciate that.
Cheers,
G
P.S. On this note. Roger, I would prefer if we always have the name of the horse in, even if it's a NR. I know that seems strange, but there are reasons and also for consistency. I have amended the sheet accordingly.
Going forward, I'll see if I can put some conditional formatting in the cells, that should enable you to copy/paste just the text from your tablet and it "should" convert it to right colour/wrapping etc.
Cheers,
G
Let me know how you get on.
Cheers,
G
You can make a few modifications (Max 3) between now and the off of the first if you wish.
Just be aware that I will be working on the sheet at the same time.
Cheers and GL!
