You have closed off each IF() statement. Leave the final ) until the end of
the formula:

=IF(C3=8,LOOKUP(J3,{0,15.5,15.51,16.01,16.51,17.01 ,20.1},{25,25,20,15,10,5,2}),IF(C3=10,LOOKUP(J3,{0 ,12.75,12.76,13.26,13.76,14.26,15},{25,25,20,15,10 ,5,1}),IF(C3=12,LOOKUP(J3,{0,12.5,12.51,12.81,13.1 1,13.41,14},{25,25,20,15,10,5,0}))))

By the way you have no FALSE component and so if C3 is none of the values
you will get a FALSE returned.

This is the formula I used, it worked UNTIL I added the second two age
groups....what did I miss?


=IF(C3=8,LOOKUP(J3,{0,15.5,15.51,16.01,16.51,17.01 ,20.1},{25,25,20,15,10,5,2})),IF(C3=10,LOOKUP(J3,{ 0,12.75,12.76,13.26,13.76,14.26,15},{25,25,20,15,1 0,5,1})),IF(C3=12,LOOKUP(J3,{0,12.5,12.51,12.81,13 .11,13.41,14},{25,25,20,15,10,5,0}))

I am using a worksheet to track a Baseball event. One of the
sub-events is a
timed event. Scoring will be based on where you fall into the time
breakdowns. But this is also broken into three age groups. What I
need is
to be able to enter a time, then have excel go through this process:
If
age=8 and time is less than 15.5, they get 25 pts, if between 15.51 and
16,
20 pts, etc down to 0 pt. Then, if age=10 and time is less than 12.75,
25
pt, 12.76-13.25, 20 pts, etc. Then again if age is 12 with a different
set
of times.

How can I do this in one formula? Too many "IF"s!
