Pick 3 Excel Formula Digit Returns
Special thanks to Excel experts at mrexcel. Excel formula for calculating the number of digit returns from the previous drawing. For example: if in cells a1, b1, c1 2 0 0 if in cells 0 2 2 In cell d1 enter the following formula: =SUMPRODUCT(IF(COUNTIF(A1:C1,{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}) COUNTIF(A2:C2,{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}),COUNTIF(A1:C1,{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}),COUNTIF(A2:C2,{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}))) Then pres...

Spreadsheet ideas for error identification.
After evaluating several formula ideas for capturing the difference of the drawn number and my pick, I ultimately decided to go with a vertical lookup table (VLOOKUP) that has 100 rows of every possible drawn digit and every possible prediction. This keeps the results signed (+/-) so I can then count each observed error with the countif and use max to find the most frequent signed error for the data in each position. Got a busy work week, so I might not get to finish the sheet, or e...

Successful run of new system... now to update the draws and test.
Finally came up with code that tracks the most frequent numbers in the other columns when given one column as a seed. Passing in a combo locks the columns by those numbers and prints the frequency distribution of 0-9 in the other columns. Tomorrow (well, later today) will be all about updates so the data can be tested. First by verifying (does the code count of the seed numbers match a countif in the spreadsheet? Also, when filtered, do the top counts match in the other co...

Two different paths to take for a seed pick...
There are other ways to generate a seed pick that have a statistical grounding but do NOT rely on the frequency of followers... This is specifically for jackpot type games. The first is to identify the number in each sorted order column... this provides the actual most drawn by position over all. (Pure spreadsheet analysis) The second is to expand the countIf formula to include ALL columns and identify the top N numbers to have been drawn in the entire game in AN...

Gearing up for the big PA Match 6 live test
Having only ever studied the data in sorted order columns, there were some unexpected results when gathering a count of the numbers regardless of position. The first stand out is that none of the numbers are the same! All 6 are different when counting from the entire grid. In sorted order, by column, a 1 is the most frequent in column A and a 49 is most frequent in column F. They also appear at double the frequency of the other 4 positions. When counting the numb...
