I'm trying to figure out a formula for a spreadsheet I have that involves
assigning an "overall" rating for results, based on a series of individual
results that I would input.

There are 5 individual results that will determine what the overall rating.
The 5 individual results categories and the rating each can be assigned a
- Productivity (rating of either "Meeting" or "Needs Development")
- Quality (rating of either "Meeting" or "Needs Development")
- Adjustments (rating of either "Meeting" or "Needs Development")
- Observations (rating of either "Meeting" or "Needs Development")
- Attendance (rating of either "Satisfactory" or "Unsatisfactory")

IF Attendance = "Unsatisfactory", then the Overall Rating = "Not Meeting"
IF Productivity and/or Quality and/or Adjustments and/or Observations =
"Needs Development" AND Attendance = "Satisfactory", then the Overall Rating
= "Needs Development"
IF Productivity and Quality and Adjustments and Observations = "Meeting" AND
"Attendance" = "Satisfactory", then the Overall Rating = "Meeting"

Is there a way for me to write this into a formula in Excel so the "Overall
Rating" would automatically be assigned, based on what I entered in the
individual rating fields?

Thanks.

IF Attendance = "Unsatisfactory", then the Overall Rating = "Not
Meeting"
IF Productivity and/or Quality and/or Adjustments and/or Observations
=
"Needs Development" AND Attendance = "Satisfactory", then the Overall
Rating
= "Needs Development"
IF Productivity and Quality and Adjustments and Observations =
"Meeting" AND
"Attendance" = "Satisfactory", then the Overall Rating = "Meeting"


here's an example:

put this in sheet 2
you can make a list
column A
1
2
3
column B
Meeting
Needs Development
Satisfactory

in sheet 1
Cell B1 enter this formula
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A1:B3,2,FALSE)),"",VLOO KUP(Sheet1!A1,Sheet2!A1:B3,2,FALSE))
in A1 enter 1 or 2 or 3

good luck
