Assigning scores based on how long ago something happened, stuck on formula

[blackrose91]

I’m trying to use a bunch of if / and statements to work on the following problem but it isn’t really getting me anywhere.
The premise of what I’m working on is that certain things have taken place in the past, and depending on how long ago it happened, it gets a certain score.

- If it happened in 2018 it gets a score of 10.
- If it happened 1-3 years ago it gets a score of 20.
- If it happened 4-7 years ago it gets a score of 30.
- If it happened 8 or more years ago it gets a score of 40.

So I have in column “A” a list of the different types of events that have taken place. In column B the date they took place, and in column C, I’m trying to put in the scores.

If just can’t seem to make a formula that does what I’m after and the inclusion of working out how long ago something happened is really confusing me.


Any help would be hugely appreciated !

Maybe something like this?

	A	B	C	D
Event	Date	Score
