Default formula returns blank

Karen,

If B16 is formatted to show percentages as whole numbers then the actual
value in B16 may be something like 100.9% *displaying* as 101%. If that
were to be the case then there is a hole in your testing between

Log'!B16<=100%)),4,IF((AND(' Yrly Log'!B16=101%,


100.9% is bigger than 100% but it is smaller then 101% so it would not meet
any criteria and therefore will run through to the FALSE part of the IF()
function and so return ""

Try making your formula:

Log'!B16<101%)),4,IF((AND(' Yrly Log'!B16=101%,


and see if that helps.

Just a thought.

Yes, =AVERAGE(B3:B15) in in B16. Changing the format to decimal didn't
work.
It still returns a blank.

I presume =AVERAGE(B3:B15) is in B16? How is that calculation
formatted?
As
a decimal?

Try replacing the percentages in your formula with their decimal
equivalents, i.e., 0% = 0, 96% = .96, etc.

someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

=IF((AND(' Yrly Log'!B160%,' Yrly Log'!B16<96%)),1,IF((AND(' Yrly
Log'!B16=96%,' Yrly Log'!B16<97%)),2,IF((AND(' Yrly Log'!B16=97%,'

Log'!B16<500%)),5,"")))))


If the cell it points to is: =AVERAGE(B3:B15) the result is a
blank.
