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.
