To get an average use the AVERAGE function as in =AVERAGE(A1:A50)

To convert scores to letter grades use a Lookup table and VLOOKUP functions.

OR a Lookup formula without a table

Assuming scores are in column A starting at A1.

In B1 enter this formula then drag/copy down column B

=LOOKUP(A1,{0,31,41,51,61,71,81,91,101},{"E","D"," C-","C","C+","B","B+","A"})

Example only. Adapt for your scores and grades.

Note the curly braces internally.

I'm trying to use Excel, which I know is possible, to set up a grade book
without using a template. I can enter students and points, I just don't know
how to get it to average and give a letter grade. I don't want to download a
template because I know there's a way to do it without one.
