Default How do I string formulas together in Excel to display variables

I want to display a range of quotes in one cell from a formula in that
cell...if you can make sense of that. The first part of the formula works
well and displays one of five messages but I cant add any more formulas to
the existing one without getting error messages, for example:
=IF(AND(B1384,B13<101),"High Distinction"). This works well but I need to
add more to it in order to display Distiction, Credit, NGP, Fail...I am more
than willing to send to anyone who can help me, the Excel spreadsheet to have
a look at.
Cheers
David

Something like

Create a table like so In M1:Nn

0 Normal
75 Distinction
101 High Distinction
110 Credit


and use

=VLOOKUP(A1,M1:N 10,2)

Thanks Bob for your reply, I know that I didn't make myself clear so may I
try to explain in words (hope this works).
What I am trying to do is set up a scoring system for students. The scoring
system is: 85-100 =High Distinction, 75-84 =Distinction, 65-74 = Credit,
50-64 =Pass, N =NGP. So, for example If I type in whatever score into cell A1
then I want cell A5 to output either HD, D, C, NGP. Does that make sense??

You defined that you want to display "High Distinction" when B1384 and
B13<101 but didn't specify the conditions of Distinction, Credit, NGP, Fail...
We need these details to compose the appropriate formula!

Stefi

Roger had it right. Paste this in a5
=IF(A1=85,"High
Distinction",IF(A1=75,"Distinction",IF(A1=65,"Cr edit",IF(A1=50,"Pass",IF(A1<50,"NGP")))))'all on one line in A5.
=IF(B1=85,"High
Distinction",IF(B1=75,"Distinction",IF(B1=65,"Cr edit",IF(B1=50,"Pass",IF(B1<"","NGP","")))))' again all one line
Slight modification that doesn't put NGP in empty cell. use fill right and
left to correct the formula for all columns.

Default How do I string formulas together in Excel to display variable

Thanks everyone for the help. The formula that you have given me works like a
charm, except the last part which I added and once again I've made a mess. So
here is what I need the formuls to do:
=IF(B14=85,"High
Distinction",IF(B14=75,"Distinction",IF(B14=65," Credit",IF(B14=50,"Pass",IF(B14<=49,"Fail",IF(B14 =N,"NGP",))))))
This last part doesn't doesn't produce an NGP when I enter N.

Cheers
David
