I know there is someone out there to help me with this. Unfortunatley, I have
waited until the last minute, trying to figure this out on my own!

I have a worksheet assignment asking to use the vlookup on Semester grade
and using the grading criteria. Gosh, my instructor won't even email me back!
=VLOOKUP(J4,K20,K4,TRUE)
I just don't get this.......grading criteriais in j20-24=scale and
k20-24=grade, and I'm using the semester average in k4, grade goes in L4 and
there are 14 students.

Anyone have an idea?
Thanks!

It is not clear (to me) what exactly you are trying to do.

In the example below, XX is a scale value, then it will return the
corresponding grade value if it finds a scale match in column J.

=VLOOKUP(XX,J20:K24,2,False)

If A1 (for example) contains a scale value then use

=VLOOKUP(A1,J20:K24,2,False)

Sorry ... still not clear: are you trying to lookup a grade based on a
student's scale (or vice versa)?

J20:J24 contains a scale
K20:K24 contains a (corresponding) grade

What is in J4?
And K4 is semestar average grade?

If J4 is a scale then:

=VLOOKUP(J4,J20:K24,2,False) returns the Grade corresponding to the scale
in J4 which matched with the scale values in J20:J24.

The 2 in the VLOOKUP formula means return the data from the second column of
your lookup table which is (in this case) contained in colums J and K, rows
20 to 24.

I am trying to assign a grade based on the semester average. J4 really
doesn't need to be there I guess. It contains "bonus/penalty" for homework
witch is either 2 or -2.

Yes k4 is the semester average. Thank you so much for helping.
