I did say that returning 5 was my guess, as you did not specify this
range. However, this should give you what you need:

=IF(E12="","",IF(E12<0.8,0,IF(E12<1,10,20)))

Hope this helps.

this works except for <0.8,10 because if it's greater than 80 but less than
100, I get a 10 - the E12 less than 100 return 10 makes everything 10

what I need is:
if E12 is = 100 return 20
if E12 is = 99-80 return 10
if E12 is = less than 79 return 0

You could try this:

=IF(E12="","",IF(E12<0.5,0,IF(E12<0.8,5,IF(E12<1,1 0,20))))

Basically, if E12 is blank then return a blank, otherwise
if E12 is less than 50% then return 0, otherwise
* if E12 is less than 80% then return 5 (my guess)
** if E12 is less than 100% then return 10, otherwise
*** return 20

* we've already checked for less than 50%, so this is essentially
between 50% and 79%, but you didn't specify what you wanted this to be
- I've assumed 5.

** returns 10 if E1 is between 80 and 99%

*** returns 20 only if E12 is greater than or equal to 100%

There were some unspecified values/ranges in your formula, so hopefully
you can see how this plugs the gaps.

Hope this helps.

in F12 want these to print
IF(E12=100%,"20",IF(E12=<99%,79%,"10",IF(E12=<0%, 50%,"0")))
but don't want 0's to show if blank (before any info filled in)
am having problems with the greater/lesser than portion, also can't add up
the totals of the F12:F15 because Excell says won't add if cells are a result
of an argument - how do I get them to total
