There's currently a lot of attention on the MegaMillions lottery here in the United States.  The MegaMillions lottery is a multi-state game of chance which has a cumulative jackpot that increases every time a drawing is held and there is no winner.  Why is there a sudden interest?  Well the jackpot has passed the previous record and is now worth over $640 million.

If you're going to play or would like to play along without risking any money, we put together a quick spreadsheet that calculates your winnings.  It has three parts that need input: your numbers, the winning numbers, and the jackpot amount.  You can check up to 100 tickets on this template, but you can always add more rows, the equations should update as well.

Your Numbers:

Input Grid

Winning Numbers (and jackpot amount)

The calcluations are done in a few steps:

First, the number of normal number matches are counted using an array function: {=SUM(COUNTIF(A2:E2,$T$2:$X$2))}

The MegaBall number is a simple countif: =COUNTIF(F2,$Y$2)

There are nine ways to win in the MegaMillions, so there are actually nine hidden columns that calculate individual wins per ticket. The Winnings column, is a simple sum: =SUM(I2:Q2)

Hidden Calculations

Enjoy and good luck!

With the launch of Office 2010, there are a number of new features found in the popular productivity programs, including Word, PowerPoint, Excel, OneNote and others. From a now fully-customizable ribbon interface that extends across all programs to a whole new way to copy-and-paste (preview before you paste!), the new suite doesn’t just contain a few tweaks, it’s a big upgrade.

Some of the new features, though, may introduce new words into an casual Office user’s vocabulary. In this post, we’ll look at one new feature in particular: Sparklines.

So what are Sparklines? While Sparklines have been around for a while via add-in programs from third parties, they haven’t been available natively in Excel until now. In short, Sparklines are a feature in Excel 2010 that let you create small charts within a single cell, allowing you to quickly discover new patterns in your data. But unlike traditional charts, Sparklines are meant to be embedded into what they’re describing – in the very same table.

For example, if you want to track the fluctuations in your sales figures, you can add Sparklines next to your raw numbers. See this graph, below, that tracks a store’s sales:

Excel-01_Sparkline

In this graph, the Sparklines chart lets you see how the sales data has changed over time. The Sparklines don’t live in a separate column or sheet, they’re right there, right next to the data they describe. And they don’t have to be in this same format, either – they can either be lines, columns or even win/loss records.

Using Sparklines is really easy, too, even for the novice Excel user. You just select the cell where you want the Sparklines to appear then choose the Sparkline type from the “Insert” ribbon. Finally, you select the cells containing the data you want graphed (or manually enter the coordinates). If you’ve ever used a simple Excel formula before (like “Sum,” for example), the process will be familiar to you and just as simple.

Sparklines are just one of the many new Office 2010 features that make the upgrade worthwhile, we’ll look at others in more detail in future posts.

What’s with all the Excel/Twitter mashups lately? First we saw SpreadTweet which lets you hide Twitter in a fake Excel spreadsheet, and now, at the (unofficial) Office Watch blog, they’ve posted instructions on how to read incoming tweets in a real Excel spreadsheet. The trick, it seems, is to grab the RSS feed from Twitter.com for your updates. Then, in a blank workbook, head over to the Data tab and click on the “From Web” button. Paste in the RSS feed URL into the web address field. Next, click on “Import.” After Excel alerts you that “the XML source does not refer to a schema” just click OK, and place the results wherever you want on the spreadsheet.

That will get you started, but to configure other options – like adding in your updates, setting the auto-refresh intervals, doing searches, or formatting the sheet, you’ll want to review the details posted over these two blog entries (here and here). This may be a bit more complicated than the fake Excel Twitter app, but on the plus side, to use this “app,” all you need is Excel – something almost everyone has at work. And since there’s nothing to download, this may be handy at workplaces where downloads and/or installations are blocked, but you still need your Twitter...on the sly.
