HOW TO ASSIGN NUMERICAL VALUES TO LETTERS IN EXCEL
I am trying to assign numerical values to grade scores - b+, c- etc, however
when i use lookup like this =LOOKUP(C5,{"U","G-","G","G+","F-","F","F+","E-","E","E+","D-","D","D+","C-","C","C+","B-","B","B+","A-","A","A+","A*"},{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14 ,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23}) which I thought would work I get a #N/A message. Can someone tell me where I'm going wrong? I'm using Excel 2003. |

HOW TO ASSIGN NUMERICAL VALUES TO LETTERS IN EXCEL
You omitted the 4th argument, which defaults to TRUE. That means the table has to be sorted ascending.
I think in your case it is best to include the 4th argument as FALSE. -- Kind regards, Niek Otten Microsoft MVP - Excel "teacherpaul" wrote in message ... |I am trying to assign numerical values to grade scores - b+, c- etc, however | when i use lookup like this | =LOOKUP(C5,{"U","G-","G","G+","F-","F","F+","E-","E","E+","D-","D","D+","C-","C","C+","B-","B","B+","A-","A","A+","A*"},{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14 ,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23}) | which I thought would work I get a #N/A message.

Paul,
modify your formula by using VLOOKUP instead of LOOKUP and add a 0 as fourth argument. =VLOOKUP(C5,{"U","G-","G","G+","F-","F","F+","E-","E","E+","D-","D","D+","C-","C","C+","B-","B","B+","A-","A","A+","A*"},{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14 ,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23},FALSE) HTH Kostis Vezerides which I thought would work I get a #N/A message.
