adding and removing players from Google Spreadsheet

[viper]

I want to remove Bauer from my personalized list of Pitchers and add Adley Rutschman to my hitters list. The video didn't say how. The "File, Edit ... Help" line didn't have an intuitively obvious area to click on. How can I do this?

Re: Bauer - In the cell with the name, hit backspace, then click the cursor in any other cell and it's cleared. You can do this across to Column L, or highlight the row to column L, then fill right (CTRL R).

Re: Rutschman - Just type in his name and stats in the first empty row.

Worked as advertised. An oddity did occur. There is a open row in the Pitchers tab where Bauer used to be as I expected. Can that open hole be eliminated? Also, can Adley get sorted alphabetically where he belong rather than being the list's anchorman?

The blank row in pitchers does not matter, the rest of the features are not affected.

There is no need to sort the hitters alphabetically, assuming you mimicked the format (Last, First- Team), there is internal coding that alphabetizes the list for the rest of the displays.

The issue would be once the players and owners settle. Every players numbers will be changed a lot. For pitchers the impact cold be significant because those pitcher son inning counts will have basically the same stats (like Ks) while guys like Cole will have greatly reduced Ks. Since I am using my own stats, the "drop and replace" I need to do will have to be adjusted with spaces and at least one player out of order. I can do it but if the players were sorted, it would be easier.

I did see and the other list were properly impacted and Adley was properly inserted in the the Catcher list and he was correctly alphabetized in the AVAILABLE list.

Thanks for the help

Seems like it would be easier to just paste in a new set of players and numbers from Excel when you update. That said, you can highlight the specific area, go to Data -> Sort Range -> Sort A to Z

If it looks wonky, Just hit CTRL Z to restore to the previous page
