Default How do you apply criteria in order of preference?

One way;

=IF(NOT(ISNUMBER(TEST)),"Entry error",IF(TEST=500,"SCORE = 500",IF(TEST<100,
"Score is less than 100",IF(AVERAGE(TEST)=200,"Average is 200","Something
Else"))))

*Note that excel has a limit of seven nested statements.
Hope this helps.

3.If any score is below 100
4. If two column's average 200...
