Default How do I string formulas together in Excel to display variable

Thanks Bob for your reply, I know that I didn't make myself clear so may I
try to explain in words (hope this works).
What I am trying to do is set up a scoring system for students. The scoring
system is: 85-100 =High Distinction, 75-84 =Distinction, 65-74 = Credit,
50-64 =Pass, N =NGP. So, for example If I type in whatever score into cell A1
then I want cell A5 to output either HD, D, C, NGP. Does that make sense??
My direct email address is
Cheers

Something like

Create a table like so In M1:Nn

0 Normal
75 Distinction
101 High Distinction
110 Credit


and use

=VLOOKUP(A1,M1:N 10,2)

I want to display a range of quotes in one cell from a formula in that
cell...if you can make sense of that. The first part of the formula works
well and displays one of five messages but I cant add any more formulas to
the existing one without getting error messages, for example:
=IF(AND(B1384,B13<101),"High Distinction"). This works well but I need to
add more to it in order to display Distiction, Credit, NGP, Fail...I am

more
than willing to send to anyone who can help me, the Excel spreadsheet to

have
a look at.
