Hi,
I have a spreadsheet that stores a persons grade as either say 5-, 5 or 5+. This column is stored as text. I have created a range of cells that has the text version of the score (i.e 6+ and I want to return the number 6, or if it's 5+, 5- I would return number 5).
At present my vlookup is working correctly for all text values with a + or - after the number. However the text values 3,4,5,6,7 and 8 don't seem to be working with the vlookup. The value returned is always 1 score lower...i.e. lookup "5" it returns a 4.
Any ideas how I could fix this?
Thanks
