If formula?

[rition]

I am not sure if I need an IF formula but I am preparing a spreadsheet
for work and basically it's a sponsorship form and if the person gets
sponsorships of different levels they get a different prize i.e.

Up to £10 - Wallet
£10.01-£20 Bootbag
£20.01-£30 T-shirt

etc up to £60 and I would like to enter the amount in column B and
then then let the computer to enter either the prize in column C.

Can anyone tell me how to do this.

I am totally new to excel.

Thank you

Wendy

Hi

One way is to use VLOOKUP. First create a table of information:
10 Wallet
20 Bootbag
30 T-Shirt
40 . . .
This can be on a different sheet (of hidden) if necessary. You can then use
a formula like this:
=VLOOKUP(A1,$B$1:$C$6,2)
presuming your figure is in A1 and your table is in B1:C6.
There is more information on this function here:

Hope this helps.

Put this formula in cell C1 and copy down as many as you need
If you need a heading, just remove the first few rows as needed.
This is limited to £ 30, if you put more, it will return "no prize"
just remove the last If statement if any amount over £ 20 wins the T'shirt
Oh, and I have allowed for pence as well as pounds

=+IF(B1=0,"No
Prize",IF(B1<10.01,"Wallet",+IF(B1<20.01,"Bootbag",+IF(B1<30.01,"T-Shirt","No
Prize"))))
