This formula should do what you want:

=IF(C1<0.9,C1,IF(AND(C1=0.9,C1<1),"MTD FCST within
10%",IF(AND(C1=1,C1<1.2),"MTD FCST exceeds FCST but acceptable","over
FCST")))

beware of wordwrap, it should be all on one line

Sample Data
* * * * *A * * * *B * * * * * * * * *C * * * * * * * * * * * * D * * * * * *

1 * | 700 *| 800 * *| =A1/B1 (=87.5%)
2 * | 720 *| 800 * *| =A2/B2 (=90%)
3 * | 721 *| 800 * *| =A3/B3 (=91%)
4 * | 792 *| 800 * *| =A4/B4 (=99%)
5 * | 800 *| 800 * *| =A5/B5 (=100%)
6 * | 952 *| 800 * *| =A5/B5 (=119%)
7 * | 960 *| 800 * *| =A5/B5 (=120%)

Here is what I would like cell D1 to do based on the answer in C1. If the
answer in cell c1 is less than 90% then return the value in cell C1, but if
the cell value in C1 is greater or equal to 90% but less than 100% then add
text that states "MTD FCST within 10%", but if the cell value in C1 is
greater or equal to 100% but less than 120% then add text that states "MTD
FCST exceeds FCST but acceptable", but if the cell value in C1 exceeds 120%
then add text that states "Over FCST"

Thanks in advance for any help.
