High guys, bit new to this Excel malarky so any help would be fantastic.

I am tring to set a score prediction leauge for our office.

What I would like to do is this

IF D3 & D4 (Home and away team prediction) MATCH C3 & C4 (Home and Away Team
Actual Score) THEN ADD 4 POINTS TO I3.

IF D3 OR D4 ARE GREATER THAN C3 OR C4 THEN ADD 1 POINT TO I3.

So if the correct score is predicted then 4 points are awarded but if the
HOME or AWAY win/draw is predicted but not corrct score then 1 point is
awarded.

About as clear as mud but any help would be really appreciated.

Struggled understanding the rules for devising a formula but here goes:-

=IF(AND(D3=C3,D4=C4),4,IF(OR(C3<>D3,C4<>D4),1))

With regard to the 1 point bit you say:-

IF D3 OR D4 ARE GREATER THAN C3 OR C4 THEN ADD 1 POINT TO I3

I've assumed you mean different too and not just greater than because
otherwise there would be no rule to cover less-than.
