Roger, thanks but I even cut and pasted your formula into the relevant cell
but it still doesn't work. What I get now when I enter an N into B14, is High
Distinction. I must be doing something wrong??? This is what I now have in
the formula bar:
=IF(B14=85,"High
Distinction",IF(B14=75,"Distinction",IF(B14=65," Credit",IF(B14=50,"Pass",IF(B14<=49,"Fail",IF(B14 ="N","NGP",""))))))

Cheers
David

Hi David

Since N is text, you need to wrap it in Quotes.
Also you need the final "" after "NGP" for the case where b14 does not
meet any of the criteria


=IF(B14=85,"High Distinction",
IF(B14=75,"Distinction",
IF(B14=65,"Credit",
IF(B14=50,"Pass",
IF(B14<=49,"Fail",I
F(B14="N","NGP",""))))))

Thanks everyone for the help. The formula that you have given me works
like a
charm, except the last part which I added and once again I've made a
mess. So
here is what I need the formuls to do:
=IF(B14=85,"High
Distinction",IF(B14=75,"Distinction",IF(B14=65," Credit",IF(B14=50,"Pass",IF(B14<=49,"Fail",IF(B14 =N,"NGP",))))))
This last part doesn't doesn't produce an NGP when I enter N.

Roger had it right. Paste this in a5
=IF(A1=85,"High
Distinction",IF(A1=75,"Distinction",IF(A1=65,"Cr edit",IF(A1=50,"Pass",IF(A1<50,"NGP")))))'all
on one line in A5.
=IF(B1=85,"High
Distinction",IF(B1=75,"Distinction",IF(B1=65,"Cr edit",IF(B1=50,"Pass",IF(B1<"","NGP","")))))'
again all one line
Slight modification that doesn't put NGP in empty cell. use fill
right and
left to correct the formula for all columns.

Hi David

Try
=IF(A184,"HD,IF(A174,"D",IF(A164,"C",IF(A149," P","NGP"))))

Thanks Stefi 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

You defined that you want to display "High Distinction" when
B1384
and
B13<101 but didn't specify the conditions of Distinction,
Credit,
NGP, Fail...
We need these details to compose the appropriate formula!

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.
