Fail Result Detector...
Posted by NiuB on July 09, 2001 10:55 AM
I got a file that have range from A1:I1. In A1 is item ,
in B1 is name , in C1 is english marks, in D1 is english grade ,
in E1 is history marks, in F1 is history grades , in G1 is geograhy
marks and in H1 is georaphy grades. In I1 is the result whether the student
is fail or pass.
How can I detect the result in I1 based on the range between C1:H1 to detect whether the student fail or
pass. If there any under 39 marks , the result in I1 will show "FAIL". If the marks is 40 and above, the
result will show 'PASS'
Many thanks

Try this formula, if I understand your requirements it will work for you:
=IF(COUNTIF(C1:H1,">=40")>0,"PASS","FAIL")

Barrie means of course (as I understand the case as he does):
=IF(COUNTIF(C1:H1,"<=39")=1,"FAIL","PASS")

Thanks Barrie..but its not working..
I try to change the data in cell C1 from 39
to 40..but the result still remains "FAIL"
any ideas...

Do you have your calculation option set to manual? Try F9 to recalculate your spreadsheet, I tried the formula on a sample and it worked okay for me.

Its also not working Aladin..I wonder why..
At first I put the marks all to 100 and when
I paste your formula, it returns to PASS.but
when i change 1 of the marks to 39 , it still
shows PASS..any ideas..what I need to do is
when there is only 1 cells shows 39 or below,
it will return FAIL..many thanks again

It must be:

Something this simple... How about that, Barrie?

I think he has options set to manual calculation. All our formulas should work (did on my mock-up).

Re: It must be:
Even if there is a single score below 40, the result must be FAIL. Is it not?

Please bear with us...
NiuB,
Would you care to post a few rows of scores from the range C1:H1 along with expected result?

Aladin..why its say the formula that you
give contain an error when I paste it..and the
cursor will blink in front of the 3rd equal
sign, the = in front of the 2nd IF..i dont know
what am i doing wrong this time..this things
driving me crazy..lol..

Take out that equal sign and all will be good.
