I'm having trouble finding a less complex way to create a notes section at the bottom of an excel doc. Here is some example data:<br>Format:<br>Person 1 <br> cat 1 = above 15%<br> cat 2 = binary<br> cat 3 = above x=10<br>Data:<br>James <br> 10%<br> 0<br> 11<br>Jill <br> 24%<br> 0<br> 10<br>Joey <br> 14%<br> 1<br> 8<br>Jane <br> 18%<br> 0<br> 9<br><br>NOTES HERE <br><br>I want the notes section to fill automatically with each persons name and if they were below or at a certain number, percent, or binary. It needs to be in the form of a sentence. Thus the complication of pluralizing and maintaining correct sentence structure with cell references.<br>The output would be like this for category 1: " Jill and Jane had a higher percentage in category 1. This may have implications for other categories."<br>The output for category 2 would be: "Joey has completed category 2."<br>Output 3: "James is above the required amount."<br>I intended to do this with if/then statements but I thought there must be a more efficient way.<br>
