Hi. Please help! Am trying to find a template (Excel?) that would keep track
of the number of tokens played and the number of tickets given out for
winners. Want to have begin and end counter and percentage of wins.

Please help

you need to define your requirement more - what are your inputs [ manually ]
and what are your outputs ?

Let me know and I'l see if I can help

I have 10 games that have 2 counters. 1 counter tracks tokens played. 1
counter tracks tickets given. I will do weekly readings of the counts and
subtract from original count to determine # of tickets dispensed(won) and #of
tokens inserted. I want to somehow calculate how the machines are doing. I
want to see the difference from one week to another in both areas. I also
want to figure the payout percentage. For instance if one machine pays out
alot of tickets for relatively few tokens, the machine is "too generous" I
want to see how each machine ranks in several categories such as most coins
in. Most winnable.
I have tried a simple spreadsheet that does subtraction of the beginning
count and current count and enter the difference in a column with today's
date. However, when I do the next count, and enter new numbers, yesterday's
difference in its own column changes to reflect todays count. I want to be
able to retain yesterday's difference so that I can see the busiest days
etc... I am also interested in percentages such as percentage of payout. I
have spent countless time online trying to search for freeware or a template
but no luck. Am new at my job and need to get this going ASAP. Any help
greatly appreciated.
