The easiest way would be to set up a column to compute the individual lookup
values, and then a separate cell to average them. *You can make it a lot more
complex than that, but that's the simplest.

Your VLOOKUP formula isn't set up right. *The syntax is


=VLOOKUP(item-to-check,lookup-range,column-offset)


So


* * * * * * * A * * * * * * * * B
1 * * * * * *A * * * * * * * * 4
2 * * * * * *B * * * * * * * * *3
3 * * * * * *C * * * * * * * * *2
4 * * * * * *D * * * * * * * * 1
5 * * * * * *F * * * * * * * * 0
6
7 * * * * * A * * * * *=VLOOKUP(A7,A1:B5,2,FALSE)


Check the Excel help on this function.

A combination of the 2 would work. *Have a table with your grades and the the
points then in your average use a vlookup based on the results, so the A's
(my school report :o) ) will then be entered, but the average value will be
calculated on its points i.e. 4.


let me know if you need any help.

I want to enter my kids' grades by class (A through F, with a point
value for each grade) and have a formula calculate their GPA quarter
over quarter, year over year, and by subject. *So the spreadsheet
might look like:


* * *A * * * * *B * * * * *C * * * * *D * * * * *E * * * * *F
1
2 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *Grade * * Pt. Value
3 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *A * * * * * 4
4 *Class * * Student 1 * Student 2 * * * * * * * B+ * * * * *3.5
5 *English 9 * * A * * * * *A * * * * * * * * * *B * * * * * 3
6 *Math 9 * * * *C * * * * *B * * * * * * * * * *C+ * * * * *2.5
7 *Music * * * * * * * * * *A * * * * * * * * * *C * * * * * 2
8 *Theater * * * A * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * D+ * * * * *1.5
9 *PE * * * * * *A * * * * *A * * * * * * * * * *D * * * * * 1
10 History 9 * * B * * * * *C+ * * * * * * * * * F * * * * * 0
11 Biology 9 * * C * * * * *B


.... and so on ...


Where the classes are listed in column A, the students are in columns
B & C, and the grading scale is a group of cells off to the right.
