Essentially, J6 holds the value for the number of errors the staff member has made. 0-1 errors would get a rating of 1, 2-3 errors a rating of 2, 4-5 errors a rating of 3, 6-7 errors a rating of 4 and 8 or more errors a rating of 5. The formulas I've created is giving me a #VALUE! error and I cant' figure out why. Any suggestions would be great.
You can simply rearrange your parentheses (and maybe, you can also take the "quote marks" from the numbers:

=IF(J6<=1,1,IF(J6<=3,2,IF(J6<=5,3,IF(J6<=7,4,5))))
