=IF(T1="","",VLOOKUP(T1,{0,"Band 1";25,"Band 2";50,"Band 3"},2))

or

=IF(T1<25,"Band 1",IF(AND(T1=25,T1<=49),"Band 2","Band 3"))

Hi all

Can anyone help me with some syntax please?

I have a value in column T, an integer indicating age. In column U I need
to enter a string depending on the age band it falls into:

If less than 25, "band 1"
If between 25 and 49, "band 2"
If over 49, "band 3"

I figure this is a nested if but am beaten by band 2 (=25 AND <50).

Thanks in advance as ever!
