Grade book help

[jimshy]

Have created a grade sheet for my son (the teacher) 5th grade Class.
Column A: Enter Number of Correct responses
Column B: =A4/$A$3
Displays Percent score
Column C: =IF(B4>0.94,4,IF(B4>0.7999,3,IF(B4>0.59,2,IF(B4<0.6,1))))
Displays Numberic Grade (1 thru 4)
Minimum Grade for a "0" correct is a One (1)

What I need is for the Grade Cell (Column C) to be Blank if there is no raw score entered in the first column. (i.e. Student's test misssing)

Driving me nuts.....
Thanks for any suggestions,
Jim

Hello Jim and welcome to MrExcel.com

By Raw Score do you mean A3?

Perhaps:

=IF(A3="","",LOOKUP(B4,{0,1;0.6,2;0.8,3;0.95,4}))

Note I have avoided IF and used LOOKUP which makes addition of criteria somewhat simpler.

Hi Jim

you could use a Lookup for this:

=IF(ISNUMBER(A4),LOOKUP(B4,{0,0.6,0.8,0.94},{1,2,3,4}),"")

Thanks to both of you for your quick responses and fixes.
Had not used the Lookup function before - worked perfectly.
Problem Solved

Thanks again
