First, let me apologise for my lack of Excel knowlege. I have tried to teach
myself to create this formula on my Excel 2002, however....I give. I humbly
ask for someone's help.

Column A will be the current date...then there will be 6 columns of data.
I need to have a formula which will do the following....

If the value of column E is equal to or less than column E's value from the
day before, and the value of Column F is equal to or less than Column E's
value from the day before, assign a value of 3 to Column H.

If the value of column E is equal to or less than column E's value from the
day before (the row under), and the value of Column F is greater than the
value of Column F from the day before, assign a value of 4 to Column H.

If the value of column E is greater than column E's value from the day
before (the row under), and the value of Column F is less than the value of
Column F from the day before, assign a value of 2 to Column H.

If the value of column E is greater than column E's value from the day
before (the row under), and the value of Column F is greater than the value
of Column F from the day before, assign a value of 1 to Column H.

Once these are in place I will want Column H to run a 5 day running simple
average in Column I.

There will be more later, however these are the most pressing needs I have
at the current time and rather than spend another month trying to teach
myself how to do this, I feel my efforts can be better used in other areas if
I can find the help to have these formula's put into Excel 2002. Any
assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I have used Excel as a Spreadsheet, however never as a database (and I'm no
expert at using it as a spreadsheet by a long way) Thanks in advance, and
remember I'm pretty green so take nothing for granted.
