Excellent thank you - I will give that a go...

Will that formula allow scored between the numbers to give the correct
answer, e.g. would a result of 20 give a 3b?

Try LOOKUP instead, e.g.

=IF(H11="","",LOOKUP(H11,{0,17,21,26,34,42,50,54,5 7;"<3b","3b","3a","4c","4b","4a","5c","5b","5a"} ))

although it's probably better to convert the above matrix to a table, i.e.
put, 0,17,21 etc. in A1 down and the corresponding grades in B1 down and use
the simpler

=IF(H11="","",LOOKUP(H11,A1:B9))

How would you solve this?

Based on some simple calculations, cell H11 has a value between 0 and
70. I would like I11 to show a text output depending on the value of
H11... For example a score of 55 would end up being 5b and a score of
27 would be 4c.

The following formula works
=IF(H11=57,"5a",IF(H11=54,"5b",IF(H11=50,"5c",I F(H11=42,"4a",IF(H11=34,"4b",IF(H11=26,"4c",IF( H11=21,"3a",IF(H11=17,"3b","<3b"))))))))

....but I know that I cannot expand it with any more IFs. I would like
to be able to return a blank cell if H11 was blank and have more
options if necessary in the future.

Any help really appreciated.
