Wrong Answer
I'm putting this function in cell S13:
=IF(Q13="","",IF(Q13<0.1,good,IF(Q130.1<0.2,FAIR, POOR))) I want GOOD for anything from 0 to 10%, FAIR for anything over 10% up to 20% and POOR for anything above 20%. What am I doing wrong? No matter what I put in cell Q13, what shows up in cell S13 is - #NAME - Why? -- Loren |

The output messages need to be enclosed in quotes...
=IF(Q13="","",IF(Q13<0.1,"good",IF(Q130.1<0.2,"FA IR","POOR"))) -- HTH...

Try this:
=IF(Q13="","",IF(Q13<0.1,"GOOD",IF(Q13<0.2,"FAIR", "POOR"))) Text needs to be enclosed in "quotes", otherwise, Excel will look for named ranges called GOOD, FAIR and POOR. Also, on your 3rd IF statement, you don't need to specify Q13 0.1 since this IF statement is only reached if Q31 is not less than 0.1.

Is the issue that XL thinks GOOD is a named range, or that it is a function?

GOOD would be a named range. GOOD() would be a function.
