I use a work sheet to track and calculate racing scores. I have an area were
I have to manually input the scores after I calculate them from the finishing
position. What I would like to be able to do is just enter the finishing
position in a cell and have it calculate the score in the same or adjoining
cell. I’m not sure what kind of formula or function to use for this. 1 = 90,
2 = 88, 3 = 86, 4 = 84 and so on to 43rd. Can anyone offer any help.
Thanks
 
Dan,

may be like this

COL A COL B
ROW 1 1 90
ROW 2 2 88 =92-2*A2
ROW 3 3 86 =92-2*A3
ROW 4 4 84 =92-2*A4
 
Assuming the trend is linear (-2 for each increment of 1):

A1 = finishing position (1 thru 43)

Enter this formula in B1:

=90-A1*2+2
