Question

Google sheets, have Fantasy Football player scores in rows for each of 38 gameweeks over the year.

As another measure of skill, want to know how many times a player has been last or first placed in each of the gameweeks. This is shown below where red is last and green is first placed:

Have tried Counta, Countif etc including use of Filter function. DO I need to try Query??

Answer 1

You can use this formula:

=BYROW(MAP(B1:Z5,LAMBDA(a,IF(a="",0,IF(a=MIN(INDEX(B1:Z5,,COLUMN(a)-1)),1,0)))),LAMBDA(b,SUM(b)))

Change B1:Z5 with your actual range both times it appears. And the -1 next to COLUMN(a) with -2 if it starts IN C column, -3 if it starts in D column and so on

Repeat the same formula changing MIN with MAX for counting maximums

Answer 2

Here's a sample setup and and the respective formulas would be

WON Formula (cell B2)

=BYROW(INDEX(BYCOL(D2:AO6,LAMBDA(bx,IF((SUM(bx)=0)+(COUNTA(bx)=0),,IF(MAX(bx)=bx,1,))))),LAMBDA(ax,SUM(ax)))

LOST Formula (cell C2)

=BYROW(INDEX(BYCOL(D2:AO6,LAMBDA(bx,IF((SUM(bx)=0)+(COUNTA(bx)=0),,IF(MIN(bx)=bx,1,))))),LAMBDA(ax,SUM(ax)))
