Top 100 Google Maps Local Guides Points (November, 2024)

Hello @tony_b @Kumaarsantosh and @Rednewt74 et al. After a restless night thinking about the strange data errors first mentioned here and subsequently in your comments, I’ve now worked out what caused the strange data shown on the first posted set of November points leaderboards.

In the first screenshot below, I’ve shown that part of the Level #10 board originally posted and showing @WebVisite @ajassimanwar @PaulAtherton and @syaubananas who @tony_b noted have points too low to be among those described as “knocking on the door”.

In the second screenshot below, I’ve shown my Excel spreadsheet used in this part of my workings. This screenshot shows the actual points (and in fact also the number of photos and photo views) for these Local Guides.

From these two screenshots, I’m sure that you Excel guns will see how I made this mistake :sob: There are just far too many steps involved in creating the Leaderboards and even with my very detailed checklist, mistakes can easily be made and this is why I repeatedly ask for your help in checking and finding these errors as soon as the Leaderboards are posted. I really appreciate those that do this as it helps me a lot.
