Savage II Commentary Thread Topic

I don't always have time to post the latest standings, so I am sharing this with the league. If you want to get the latest standings, just hit "refresh all" twice on the data tab (technically you can just do refresh all once, and then refresh once but the other way is just less clicking. The pivot table refreshes before the Power Query tabs which is why you have to do it twice. It takes like less than 10 seconds to do.

Anyone can just download this, keep it local and rerun. The URLs are hardcoded so it won't work in future vintages of Savage. You will probably have to "enable content" since it references external sources (Whatifsports.com in this case).

Does anyone happen to know how to get this to work on an iPhone? I have Excel on my phone but when I click “open in excel” on this link, it keeps just opening it in Safari, but I can’t pull the new data from the Safari version. I can’t download it either.

Pretty sure the refresh function isn’t there in iOS unless I missed it.

Unsure about your Safari problem. I just see stuff like that in the “shared with me” section of the Excel app. Jhsukow sounded like he figured out how to open it.

Ben had the file locked over the weekend. Not sure if he still does.

I’m honestly not a big fan of the mobile Excel experience. I prefer to RDP into my desktop from the phone and use Excel that way.

Locked it by accident. Didn't even realize I could do that. Should be unlocked now.

I did a quick web search and it doesn't look like the refresh functionality is there for iOS version.

So this will only be useful for people using desktop Excel.

I doubt I’m going to finish any higher than 2nd, but at least I can probably claim back-to-back podium finishes with some ballsy moves like picking Harden higher than anyone else would have, trading Wilt for Curry, burning a 3rd on a guy who only has 3 seasons (Simmons), and getting drunk and drafting George Gervin and Josh Smith.

Huh. Maybe the WISNBA has missed out on the opportunity to run a theme league featuring a speed draft - maybe a super-compressed three hours with all owners under the influence.

On a vaguely related note, my very first open league team (I don't know how many years ago) involved only players who had been suspended for drug use.

I’m down for a speed draft if you guys are. We’d each set aside an afternoon together and just power through it. Also down to do it while drinking.

288 picks in an afternoon. At 1 minute per pick, it would take 5 hours

set up the google meet to insure drinks are being had. You know i'd be down

any time your exceed your 1 minute time slot you are skipped (can catch up anytime) and have to pound your drink. of course, your next round pick would be in 24 minutes

Most drafts aren’t 12 rounds. We could do a 5 round draft or something.
