probably rough idea..?? basics? notice +IF
(know how to test if parenthesis in right place? figured out can use line
returns, as below to help line things up, and click on message under cell
(while in cell), IF true, IF false, go from front to back, parenthesis /
hilite should stop where you want them to....

=IF(X1="","",IF(AND(a1="text",b1=1,c1<=2.5,c1<="2. 5"),(X1+1)
+IF(X15,X1*1.5),""))

Hello,

I am trying to rank some of our competitors using their financial
ratios using 16 criteria to come to a total ranking for them. How do I
write a IF statement to give each one a ranking of one point for
meeting this criteria. For example

There current ratio must be at least 1 to 1 to get a point, if it is
less that 1 warn me it does not meet my criteria.

Then there are a few where they get one point for every half a percent
they are above the criteria.

A sample of some criteria

Net profit margin must exceed 5% to get a point

Total debt to total asset must be less than 150% or (1.5)

Earnings Yield must exceed 8% and for every half a % they get one
point


Hope this helps, and thanks for you help
Kind Regards
