How about simply
=min(100,(L8+O8+R8+U8+X8+AA8+AD8+AG8+AJ8+AM8+AP8+A S8))

I am working on a grade book. The teacher gives 12 quizzes worth 10 points
each, but the maximum credit allowed for quizzes is 100 points, not the
mathematically possible 120 points. I think an IF statement is the
answer,
my best try is below:
IF(=100, "100", "=L8+O8+R8+U8+X8+AA8+AD8+AG8+AJ8+AM8+AP8+AS8")
This worked on the true contdion, but the false condition is not returning
the sum, but rather =L8+O8+R8+U8+X8+AA8+AD8+AG8+AJ8+AM8+AP8+AS8.
I have tried all the variations I can think of to tell it to return the
sum
in the false condition (the sum is less than 100), but I can't find the
right
grammar. Removing the quotation marks made the statement invalid, as did
surrounding the L8+O8+R8+U8+X8+AA8+AD8+AG8+AJ8+AM8+AP8+AS8 with
parentheses.
I tried to approach it with a SUMIF statement, but didn't see that as an
answer, though I admit I was running out of enthusiasm by then. I've
tried
the online help, and as ever, not found the issue addressed. I'd sure
appreciate any suggestions.
THANKS!
