Update cells depending on an adjacent cells number

**debora** · 07-13-2012, 10:09 AM

I have a spread sheet. I contains in one of the columns scores. I would like the text in the adjacent cell to automatically update with text, depending on the score in the original column.

Eg If the score in H2 is 100, I’d like the cell I2 to say Full Compliance
If H3 has a score of 84 I’d like I5 to say Substantial Compliance… and so on

The scores are as follows

100 = Full Compliance
80 to 99 = Substantial Compliance
41 to 79 – Limited Compliance
40 or below = Little of No Compliance.

Can someone help me with this?

Many thanks

You can do this with VLOOKUP, but before I can give you more details you had better change your title - read the Forum Rules.

Set up a table somewhere like this (assume it is in X1:Y4):

0 | Little or No Compliance
41 | Limited Compliance
80 | Substantial Compliance
100 | Full Compliance

Then in I2 you can use this formula:
