Doubt in nested if

[karti1986]

Hi All

Im trying to make a big fuss of nothing.. hitting my head instead of thinking calm. Appreciate any help on my issue.
I'm trying to rate a set of servers with respect to the no. of alerts which they throw.
Rating being 1-Red, 2-Amber, 3-Green...

Overall average here being = 7, server 1 to server 23 are 1-Red
Take an average from Server 24 to Server 41, which is 5 here.( point where the no. of alerts gets lesser than the overall average(7))
and rate the servers which are in between overall average(7) and the new average(5) as 2 -Amber
Servers below new average(5) are 3-Green
Please help me to accomplish this one..

Server 1	13
Server 2	12
Server 3	10
Server 4	10
Server 5	10
Server 6	10
Server 7	9
Server 8	9
Server 9	9
Server 10	9
Server 11	9
Server 12	9
Server 13	9
Server 14	9
Server 15	8
Server 16	8

Something like this? Not sure what new average means??

=IF(B1>ROUNDDOWN(AVERAGE(B:B),0),"RED",IF(B1=ROUNDDOWN(AVERAGE(B:B),0),"AMBER","GREEN"))

It didnt work buddy..
my sequence of actions to be
1. take overall average of no. of events Server1 to Server41 (Average=7)
2. compare no. of events with overall average(7), events greater than 7 are RED
3. a breaking point where the condition fails.. here server 24 is the breaking point where the condition fails
4. average of no. of events from the breaking point to end (here Server24 to Server41) which is 5
5. another condition - no. of events which lies between Overall Average(7) and the new average(5) to be AMBER
6. rest of the servers with events less than new average(5) to be GREEN.
a macro to attain this will helpful too..
