I created an advertising opportunity score sheet. When I arrive at the total
score I would like excel to display some words telling what the number means
in terms of advertising opportunity
Examples - If the total is any of the following the text should be displayed
below the score or beside the score.

..90 - 1.0 = extraordinary opportunity
..80 - .89 = excellent opportunity
..70 - .79 = very good
..60 - .69 = good
..50 - .59 = average opportunity
..40 - .49 = poor
,30 - .39 = very poor

I hope I am making sense.
Thank you

Derrick

Take a look at the VLOOKUP function.

Hi!

Here's one way.

Invert your table, get rid of the "-" and the "=" so that it looks like
this:

H1..........I1..........J1
0.3....... 0.39........ very poor
0.4....... 0.49........ poor
0.5....... 0.59........ average opportunity
0.6....... 0.69........ good
0.7....... 0.79........ very good
0.8....... 0.89........ excellent opportunity
0.9....... 1............. extraordinary opportunity

The table is in the range H1:J7.

Assume your total score is in cell A1. In B1 enter this formula:

=IF(OR(A1="",A1<0.3),"",VLOOKUP(A1,H1:J7,3,1))

Note: *any* score greater than 0.9 will return extraordinary opportunity.
