Default Is this POSSIBLE IN EXCEL ?


Hello!

I have a list of 100 names and test scores, then a range of letter
grades.

Name Scores
Joe 100
Billy 95
Max 65
John 49

Grades from100-95, will get a letter Grade A
Grades from 94-80, will get a letter Grade B
79-65, will get a letter Grade C
64-50, will get a letter Grade D
49-0, will get a letter Grade F

I wanted to know if there is a combination of function that will allow
me to convert the scores to their corresponding letter grade. Possible
without macros.


Thanks

Assuming your names are in column A and your scores are in column B in C1
put GRADES
in G1 put 0
in G2 put 50
in G3 put 65
in G4 put 80
in G5 put 95

and
in H1 put F
in H2 put D
in H3 put C
in H4 put B
in H5 put A

finally in C2 put this formula and copy down..........
=VLOOKUP(B2,$G$1:$H$5,2,TRUE)

Vaya con Dios,

If you do not want to use a table, you may use the following array
function:

The numbers in the rightmost brackets are the numerical codes
equivalent to letter grades.

=CHAR(SUM(--(A2{0,48,64,79,94})*--(A2<{50,65,80,95,101})*{70,68,67,66,65}))

Where A2 has the number grade.
enter the formula and press contrl + shift + enter.

=CHAR(SUM(--(F28{0,48,64,79,94})*--(F28<{50,65,80,95,101})*{70,68,67,66,65}))


as array formula.

Just another variation...

=CHAR(65+(A2<95)+(A2<80)+(A2<65)+2*(A2<50))
