    Help: I need a way to combine these 3 criteria into one averaging formula.

    I need help finding a way to combine these 3 criteria into one averaging formula for a gradebook simulation for a class that I can't figure out:

    1) Drop the lowest test grade.

    2) Add bonus if completed. 6 pts if attendance bonus AND HW bonus are completed. 2 pts if attendance bonus OR HW bonus is completed (completion of bonus is indicated by "y" or "n")

    3) Weight the value of tests (5 Regular Tests = %75, 1 Final = %25)

    I'm trying to find a final average based on these 3 criteria. I know how to do each of these separately, but I don't know how to combine them. Perhaps there is some magic function that does all 3 at once?

    I've marked the cell I need the final average in with red.

    Hi Taco Mc Nacho,

    It sounds like you need the AverageIFS function (maybe)

    After seeing that you give points for Homework and Attendance you may need to simply add a bunch of numbers and divide them by the total possible points.
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.
