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.

I have entered the following formula and it keeps giving me a blank

populate. Can
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%,'
Yrly
Log'!B16<99%)),3,IF((AND(' Yrly Log'!B16=99%,' Yrly
Log'!B16<=100%)),4,IF((AND(' Yrly Log'!B16=101%,' Yrly
Log'!B16<500%)),5,"")))))
If the cell it points to is: =AVERAGE(B3:B15) the result is a
blank.
