I need help with IF function

[M3rcury]

Im after some help please....

Im really not great with functions in excel and I think I need an IF formula to do what I need but im not sure.

I have a large spreadsheet with various data, I have 4 columns (Cell references C3 to F3) that contain a course mark (number) or blank. I need to create a formula that shows in cell (G3) "completed" if each column in the row has a mark entered or "ongoing" if there is a (s) in the row. There are about 2k rows so will need to replicate down all rows.

I really dont know how to attack it as ive looked at loads of help and can see lots of IF function help but nothing that relies on blanks/non blanks rather than calculations. Now I type in what I need it seems really simple but ive been scratching my head for days!

Once Ive done this I also need in another column - If course NOT completed, how many modules has the student got left to do, in a further column the average mark for a student over the number of modules for which they have achieved a mark so far and another for completed students to show their final grade based on the number of marks achieved over the course - Average 70+ DISTINCTION, Average 40 – 69 PASS, Average Below 40 FAIL. Any advice on this last bit too would be appreciated.
Thanks so much to anyone reading or offering any support with this.

Cheers!

Hi M3rcury and welcome to the board.
Could you post a sample of your data,please?

 

[rdw72777]

G3: =IF(OR(C3="(s)",D3="(s)",E3="(s)",F3="(s)"),"Ongoing",IF(AND(C3<>"",D3<>"",E3<>"",F3<>""),"Completed","Other situation"))

H3: =IF(G3<>"Completed",COUNTIF($C$3:$F$3,"(s)"),"All modules completed")

I3: =AVERAGE(C3:F3)

J3: =IF(G3="Completed",IF(I3>70,"Distinction",IF(I3<40,"Fail","Pass")),"Incomplete")

Thank you so much, I wasnt quite expecting the solution, but im well pleased! Ill give that a go and let you know

Hiya

Thanks again for your help, however I didnt quite get what I was expecting. Ive pasted in the formulas and have a few little issues. in column G I dont need the "other situation" just completed or ongoing. In column H, I and J I dont seem to be able to copy it down for it to work on the other rows.

Ive looked at this so much over the last couple of days Im frazzled with it!

Above is a sample of the results I get when I use Ryan's formulae

Hi M3rcury and welcome to the board.
Could you post a sample of your data,please?

Thanks for your welcome - I think I might be here a lot!!! Im somewhat of a novice, I can sorta work it through in my mind when I see it I just cant get my head round creation of these complicated formulas.

 

[rdw72777]

I think the issue might be you didn't list out scenarios the way you think you did.

"Other situation" comes up as a catch all for situations you didn't lay out. You have a situation for "Completed" which works, but you said "Ongoing" should happen when a value of "(s)" appeared in one of the 4 marks, yet your sample data has a bunch of blank cells, which wasn't a scenario you laid out.

The same applies for column H, as you didn't indicate cells could be blank, only that they'd have a number or the "(s)" value. However, there was an issue with the formula I gacve you for H so it wouldn't have worked anyways

try again:


g3: =IF(OR(C3="",D3="",E3="",F3=""),"Ongoing",IF(AND(C3<>"",D3<>"",E3<>"",F3<>""),"Completed","Other situation"))

H3: =IF(G3<>"Completed",COUNTIF($C3:$F3,""),"All modules completed")

I3: =AVERAGE(C3:F3)

J3: =IF(G3="Completed",IF(I3>70,"Distinction",IF(I3<40,"Fail","Pass")),"Incomplete")
