Your data is ambiguous, you have 6.8 going up to B, but 5.6 going down to D.
Assuming up

=VLOOKUP(A21,{0,"E";2.1,"D";4.1,"C";6.1,"B";8.1,"A "},2,TRUE)

where A21 holds the average.

Hi everyone

I'm having trouble with a small project I'm working on at school. I
have to calculate the average of a couple of numbers in excel but i
wan't to return the answers in letters.

there are 5 possibilities

A=10
B=8
C=6
D=4
E=2

I want to be able to input the letters A through E
and then get an average in letters and numbers. something like this

a+b+b+c+e=6.8 =B
b+c+e+e+a=5.6 =D

is this possible?

thanks in advance
