Love the quizzes but I have one question, how do you get the column into that formation. I have tried and nothing seems to work.

Thanks! I'm not entirely sure which aspect of the columns you mean, but the way I did it was fill in the answers with the teams and yardage values in the answers section, then set the design grid to two blocks when it's on auto, then switch it to manual. This leaves two blocks of all the answers. I then added 3 extra rows after each ten players, setting one to having no borders so it separates each year, then set the next one to blue and white, and merged them together using the merge cells feature to use as the year box, then set the row underneath as blue and white as well, and filled in yards, team and player in the appropriate columns. It's time consuming but it's the way I've managed to do it. Hope this helps!
