You could rewrite it usin Select Case to replace all of those ElseIf's and I
think it becomes more readable and probably a little more efficient. Check
out Excel's Help on Select Case for variations of the individual Case
evaluations available.

For Each mycell In Range("C31:K31,M31:U31")
Select Case mycell.Offset(-25)
Case Is = 3
Select Case mysell.Offset(-5) - _
mycell.Offset(-23)
Case Is = 1
mycell = "Normal"
mycell.Offset(1) = 0
Case Is = 2
mycell = "+1"
mycell.Offset(1) = 1
Case Is = 3
mycell = "+2"
mycell.Offset(1) = 2
'add more Case Is statements as needed
Case Else
'do nothing
End Select

Case Is = 4
Select Case mysell.Offset(-5) - _
mycell.Offset(-23)
Case Is = 1
mycell = "-1"
mycell.Offset(1) = -1
Case Is = 12
mycell = "Normal"
mycell.Offset(1) = 0
Case Is = 3
mycell = "+1"
mycell.Offset(1) = 1
'add more Case Is statements as needed
Case Is = 11
mycell = "+9"
mycell.Offset(1) = 9
Case Is = 12
mycell = "Too High"
mycell.Offset(1) = 10
Case Else
'do nothing
End Select

Case Is = 5
Select Case mysell.Offset(-5) - _
mycell.Offset(-23)
Case Is = 1
mycell = "-1"
mycell.Offset(1) = -1
Case Is = 2
mycell = "Normal"
mycell.Offset(1) = 0
Case Is = 3
mycell = "+1"
mycell.Offset(1) = 1
'add more Case Is statements as needed
Case Is = 13
mycell = "Too High"
mycell.Offset(1) = 10
Case Else
'do nothing
End Select

Case Else
'if .Offset(-25) value is not 3, 4 or 5, do nothing!
End Select
Next ' mycell loop end

I have the following code which works fine. My question though is how can it
be simplified (which I am sure it can).

For Each mycell In Range("C31:K31,M31:U31")
If mycell.Offset(-25) = 3 And mycell.Offset(-5) - mycell.Offset(-23)
= 1 Then
mycell.Value = "Normal"
mycell.Offset(1).Value = 0
ElseIf mycell.Offset(-25) = 3 And mycell.Offset(-5) -
mycell.Offset(-23) = 2 Then
mycell.Value = "+1"
mycell.Offset(1).Value = 1
ElseIf mycell.Offset(-25) = 3 And mycell.Offset(-5) -
mycell.Offset(-23) = 3 Then
mycell.Value = "+2"
mycell.Offset(1).Value = 2

ElseIf mycell.Offset(-25) = 3 And mycell.Offset(-5) -
mycell.Offset(-23) = 10 Then
mycell.Value = "+9"
mycell.Offset(1).Value = 9
ElseIf mycell.Offset(-25) = 3 And mycell.Offset(-5) -
mycell.Offset(-23) = 11 Then
