Calculating and assigning letter grades to students based on their achieved score is a common task. I'll show you how a super simple solution in Microsoft Excel to automate this task.

    The key here is non-exact matching in the VLOOKUP. Notice she didn’t include the last argument so it defaulted to true. This allows non-exact matching which assumes the lookup column is sorted in ascending order and matches the first row where the lookup value is greater.

    I agree that one should avoid doing tasks manually whenever possible. Just a note on your method; for those that do not want the extra columns containing the grading criteria to show, hiding columns will not impact the function. Alternatively, this can be accomplished with a nested IF statement. =IF(I2>=0.905,"A",IF(I2>=0.805,"B",IF(I2>=0.705,"C",IF(I2>=0.605,"D",IF(I2

    It works because she's using the Approximation option of the VLOOKUP formula which will assign a value if the number is higher than the lower bound of a category. Works only on numbers and only if the score is ordered from lowest to highest.

    If you notice, she didn't include the last criteria in the vlookup which is the "True" or "False" that determines the lookup based on exact value or the approximate value. I don't remember which is which but i guess by default it is set to approximate.

    It'll be a D grade, because it's equal to the value in cell G3. The values in range F2:F6 are of type "text" and are not referenced in the vlookup-formula, so the don't matter to the result - only description for the user/teacher. However, you're right, that F2 should contain "0 - 54".

My personal preference is XLOOKUP because even if we mix the order of the boundaries, the function will still work, whereas VLOOKUP and LOOKUP will fail. I went with this solution because I've noticed many use the IF function for these cases and I know every Excel version has VLOOKUP 😀.
