Excel on Rocky Top – Cornhole

 

Here is a comprehensive walkthrough guide for the Excel on Rocky Top case “Cornhole” provided by two of our faculty fellows, Eric Kelley and Diarmuid Early, and Excel Wizard. The case is available in your ExPrep account in folder Excel on Rocky Top. Try it yourself, and if you get stuck, look for the solution in the videos.

TASK
You are organizing the University of Tennessee’s Cornhole Championships! In Levels 1 through 4, you will determine the cost of various items and project the event’s revenue. In Levels 5 through 8, you will score individual tosses (throws of a bean bag), rounds, and entire games. Go get some sliders, watch out for hangers, and good luck!

Solving the case with single cell formulas. 

Level 3 formula with nested reduct =LET(r,REDUCE(I126:J126,SEQUENCE(9),LAMBDA(a,i,LET(t,TEXTSPLIT(@+a,”; “),x,BYROW(XMATCH(pack,t),COUNT)=2,b, REDUCE(@+a,FILTER(pack,x,0),LAMBDA(b,v,SUBSTITUTE(b,v,,1))),HSTACK(b,SUM(Pcost*x,INDEX(a,2)))))),SUM(XLOOKUP(TEXTSPLIT(@r,”; “,,1),Item,Cost),r)*(1-XLOOKUP(G126,Dates,Discount,0,1)))

with Groupby =LET(z,TEXTSPLIT(I126,,”; “),g,GROUPBY(z,z,ROWS,0,0),t,TAKE(g,,1),n,BYROW(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(pack,g,2,0),0),MIN), SUM((DROP(g,,1)-XLOOKUP(t,TOCOL(pack),TOCOL(IFNA(n,pack)),0))*XLOOKUP(t,Item,Cost),n*Pcost)*(1-XLOOKUP(G126,Dates,Discount,0,1)))

Level 6 formula =LET(b,BYROW(WRAPROWS(XLOOKUP(H241:AE241,Abb,Pts),8),LAMBDA(a,ARRAYTOTEXT(BYROW(WRAPCOLS(a,2),SUM)))), m,MAP(b,LAMBDA(c,SUM(TEXTSPLIT(c,”,”)*{1,-1}))),SUM(ABS(m)))

Level 8 formula =LET(b,BYROW(WRAPROWS(CELL(“contents”,INDIRECT(“Board!”&G323:GX323)),8),LAMBDA(a,ARRAYTOTEXT(BYROW(WRAPCOLS(a,2),SUM)))), m,MAP(b,LAMBDA(c,SUM(TEXTSPLIT(c,”,”)*{1,-1}))), pa,SCAN(0,IF(SIGN(m)=1,m),SUM),pb,SCAN(0,IF(SIGN(m)=-1,-m),SUM),XLOOKUP(21,MAP(pa,pb,MAX),pa+pb,,1))

Dim’s method =LET(b,BYROW(WRAPROWS(BYCOL(WRAPCOLS(CELL(“contents”,INDIRECT(“Board!”&G321:GX321)),2)*{1;-1},SUM),4),SUM), pa,SCAN(0,IF(SIGN(b)=1,b),SUM),pb,SCAN(0,IF(SIGN(b)=-1,-b),SUM),XLOOKUP(21,MAP(pa,pb,MAX),pa+pb,,1))

Bonus 5 =SUM(BYROW(G323:GX342,LAMBDA(x,LET(p,WRAPCOLS(CELL(“contents”,INDIRECT(“Board!”&x)),2), b,BYROW(WRAPROWS(BYCOL(p*{1;-1},SUM),4),SUM), pa,SCAN(0,IF(SIGN(b)=1,b),SUM),pb,SCAN(0,IF(SIGN(b)=-1,-b),SUM), SUM(N(BYROW(WRAPROWS(TOCOL(TAKE(p,,XMATCH(21,MAP(pa,pb,MAX),1)*4)),4)=3,AND)))))))
