Trick to get the sum row wise or column wise

    Row-wise or Column-wise Sum Using a Shortcut: Select the range of numbers in the table that you want to sum (either a column or a row, or even multiple columns or rows). Press the Alt key on your keyboard. After pressing Alt , press the +   = key . This is the AutoSum shortcut. If you're summing a column , Excel will automatically fill the cell directly below the selected range with the sum of that column. If you're summing a row , Excel will automatically fill the cell directly to the right of the selected range with the sum of that row.   The AutoSum feature ( Alt + = ) automatically sums numbers in a contiguous range of cells.    

Mastering VLOOKUP a step by step guide

  


If you need to categorize scores into different results (Failed, Third Division, Second Division, First Division, and Extraordinary) based on score ranges in Excel, you can use the VLOOKUP Formula instead of  IF function to achieve this. 

Score Criteria

Score Range                          Result

0 - 32                                     Failed

33 - 44                                   Third Division

45 - 59                                   Second Division

60 - 74                                   First Division

75 and above                     Extraordinary

 

    For categorizing student scores using VLOOKUP in Excel, we can use a lookup table. This method is often preferred because it simplifies the formula and makes it easier to manage score ranges.

How to Use VLOOKUP for Grading

1. Create a Lookup Table

First, create a lookup table that defines the score ranges and their corresponding results. You can set up the lookup table like this (in cells A2:B6):

 

Score (A)             Result (B)

0                              Failed

33                           Third Division

45                           Second Division

60                           First Division

75                           Extraordinary

2. VLOOKUP Formula

To categorize the score in cell B2, use the following formula:

=VLOOKUP(B2, $E$2:$F$6, 2, TRUE)

Explanation:

 

B 2 is the cell containing the score you want to evaluate.

$E$2:$F$6 is the range of the lookup table (make sure to use absolute references with $). FOR THIS PLEASE SELECT THE CONDITIONS TABLE/LOOKUP TABLE AND RIGHT CLICK AND THEN CLICK  NAME A RANGE AND COPY THE ADDRESS or just select the lookuptable and press F4 function key.

2 indicates that the result is in the second column of the lookup table.

TRUE means an approximate match, which is needed for score ranges.
