Very sorry - I have posted this in another groupd and have realised
this is in fact the correct place to ask.

I am currently using the IF function to display a score value based
on
age. I am currently using 2 cells with 2 seperate equations for boys
(with age in C5):


=IF($C$5=11,10.6,IF($C$5=12,12.8,IF($C$5=13,15,IF( $C$5=14,17.2,IF($C
$5=15,19.3,IF($C$5=16,20.1,IF($C$5=17,20.9,IF($C$5 =18,21.6))))))))


and girls (with age in B5):


=IF($B$5=11,9,IF($B$5=12,10.6,IF($B$5=13,12.1,IF($ B$5=14,13.7,IF($B
$5=15,15.4,IF($B$5=16,15.8,IF($B$5=17,16.3,IF($B$5 =18,16.7))))))))


I am trying to combine the 2 equations into one, so that the user can
enter age and sex (m or f) and the output will be the appropriate
score.

I am pretty sure that I need to be using the AND / OR functions but
can't seem to crack it. Any help (as always) much appreciated!


Thanks

Rather than have one complex formula to cover boys and girls together,
put those ages and scores in a table somewhere (eg X1:Z8), like this:

11 10.6 9
12 12.8 10.6
13 15 12.1
14 17.2 13.7
15 19.3 15.4
16 20.1 15.8
17 20.9 16.3
18 21.6 16.7

Then if you use B5 for the gender and C5 for the age, you can have a
formula like this:

=IF(B5="m",VLOOKUP(C5,X1:Y8,2),IF(B5="f",VLOOKUP(C 5,X1:Z8,3),""))

Hope this helps.
