Is there a way of getting the FUNCTION wizard to help you through all
available nested IFs? I can manage fine with the 3 fill-in boxes but get confused and have to spend ages perfecting multiple conditions like these =IF(U5=80%,"GRADE A",IF(U5=70%,"GRADE B",IF(U5=60%,"GRADE C",IF(U5=50%,"GRADE D",IF(U5=40%,"GRADE E",IF(U5<40%,"FAIL")))))) -- Ken Knight |

I gave up on the Function Wizzard. It's pretty easy to read your
formula. When they're more complex I put in the values, one a t a time, and see what results I get. ed Ken Knight wrote: Is there a way of getting the FUNCTION wizard to help you through all available nested IFs?

You should learn to use LOOKUP. Put the values in a table like so
0 FAIL 40% GRADE E 50% GRADE D 60% GRADE C 70% GRADE B 80% GRADE A and us a formula like =VLOOKUP(U5,$A$1:$B$10,2,TRUE) -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace xxxx in the email address with gmail if mailing direct) "Ken Knight" wrote in message ...

Thanks for the reply.
I can sort of manage lookups but not well. I need ranges rather than values - anything below 40% is FAIL, not just 0; 40-49% is D, not just 40% and so on. The reason I posted the question about the wizard is that I've had it switch itself on for a condition after the 3rd but have no idea how this happened and can't make it happen again. Inserting one condition at a time was easy, and I wish I could do this for all those I need. -- Ken Knight "Bob Phillips" wrote: You should learn to use LOOKUP.

Ken,
"I need ranges rather than values - anything below 40% is FAIL, not just 0; 40-49% is D, not just 40% and so on" The Lookup formula that Bob gave you does that, will give you and E not D as per your request, E????, did you try it? -- Paul B Always backup your data before trying something new Please post any response to the newsgroups so others can benefit from it Feedback on answers is always appreciated!
