=IF(A2=40,"p",IF(A2=80,"pp",IF(A2=120,"ppp",IF(A2= 160,"whatever answer you
want if A2 isn't any of the numbers you quoted"))))

Another approach, depending on how you wish to treat your undefined cases,
might be =REPT("p",MIN(A2/40,4))

I'm working on a project where I'm calculating the number of weeks per
quarter. What a need is a formula where 40=p, 80=pp 120=ppp and finally
160=pppp. Is that even possible?

Thanks
