I want to return a choice of 4 letters(w,x,y,z) in one cell depending upon the result of a number in another cell. For example - if cell A2 was between 1 & 5 I want to return the letter w in cell C2, If cell A2 was between 6 & 10 I
want to return letter x in C2, I thank you as all i get is true/false with If statements
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
Welcome to MrExcel Board!

How about this?:

=IF(AND(A2>=1,A2<=20),CHAR(QUOTIENT(A2-1,5)+119),"Not in range")

Hope that helps!

Hi KenWright64:

Welcome to MrExcel Board!

You mean something like ...

=IF(AND(A2>=6,A2<=10),"x",IF(AND(A2>=1,A2<=5),"w"))

Not sure where y and z come into it but this structure might also be some use:
=LOOKUP(A2,{1,6,11,16},{"w","x","y","z"})
