if or functions

[benwork]

Hi

Im looking for a if or function to help me with some data.

I receive element grades for a product and would like it to auto assign depending on the values.

These are the grade ranges for each product

good grade Cu - 99-50 N -10-5 Al - 0-2
medium grade Cu 49-25 N - 4.9-2.5 Al - 2.1-5
poor grade Cu - 24-0 N - 2.4-0 Al - 5.1 - 10

If any of the elements falls into a lower category then the whole item becomes downgraded.

For example if a grade comes back as Cu - 85, N - 7 and Al - 7.5 then the product quality is poor grade.

Another example is Cu - 45, N - 9, Al 5.2, because the Al is classed as the poor grade, the whole item is classed as poor.

The spreadsheet will be set up like

A1 Sample Ident A2 Cu A3 N A4 AL A5 Product quality

If anyone could help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Ben

Two methods: the first one is broken into simple steps but involves the use of three 'helper'columns which flag the quality of each element before combining them to generate the overall quality:-

In E1: [B]=IF(AND(B1[COLOR=blue]<=[/COLOR][COLOR=blue]99[/COLOR],B1[COLOR=blue]>=50[/COLOR]),3,IF(AND(B1[COLOR=blue]<[/COLOR][COLOR=blue]50[/COLOR],B1[COLOR=blue]>=25[/COLOR]),2,1))[/B]
In F1: [B]=IF(AND(C1[COLOR=blue]<=10[/COLOR],C1[COLOR=blue]>=5[/COLOR]),3,IF(AND(C1[COLOR=blue]<5[/COLOR],C1[COLOR=blue]>=2.5[/COLOR]),2,1))[/B]
In G1: [B]=IF(AND(D1[COLOR=blue]>=0[/COLOR],D1[COLOR=blue]<=2[/COLOR]),3,IF(AND(D1[COLOR=blue]>2[/COLOR],D1[COLOR=blue]<=5[/COLOR]),2,1))[/B]
In H1: [B]=CHOOSE(MIN(E1:G1),"Poor","Medium","Good")[/B]

Or if you want to save the extra columns at the expense of making the formula less readable;-

In E1: [B]=CHOOSE(MIN(IF(AND(B1<=99,B1>=50),3,IF(AND(B1<50,B1>=25),2,1)),IF(AND(C1<=10,C1>=5),3,IF(AND(C1<5,C1>=2.5),2,1)),IF(AND(D1>=0,D1<=2),3,IF(AND(D1>2,D1<=5),2,1))),"Poor","Medium","Good")[/B]

I've highlighted the bits of the formulae where the ranges are tested: you may need to tweak these if the results aren't exactly as you require. For example, what if Cu is 24.5, 49.5 or over 99? There are equal gaps in the ranges for N and Al - what if their value is 11, for example? My formulae assume this would be "Poor".
