I am getting an invalid name error with the following formula: =IF('7DESGL'!AD2 > 89, EXCELLENT, IF(AND('7DESGL'!AD2 > 79,'7DESGL'!AD2<90), GOOD, IF(AND('7DESGL'!AD2>75,'7DESGL'!AD2<80), SATISFACTORY, IF(AND('7DESGL'!AD3>64,'7DESGL'!AD3<75), LESS THAN SATISFACTORY, IF('7DESGL'!AD2<65, MUST IMPROVE))))) I am trying to get a response based on the number that appears in cell AD2 of the worksheet 7DESGL that is in the same workbook. I have checked the name of the sheet to make sure it is correct and it is. What is wrong with the above formula? Thank you for your help.

You need to enclose your text in quotes:

=IF('7DESGL'!AD2 > 89, "EXCELLENT", IF(AND('7DESGL'!AD2 > 79,'7DESGL'!AD2<90), "GOOD", IF(AND('7DESGL'!AD2>75,'7DESGL'!AD2<80), "SATISFACTORY", IF(AND('7DESGL'!AD3>64,'7DESGL'!AD3<75), "LESS THAN SATISFACTORY", IF('7DESGL'!AD2<65, "MUST IMPROVE")))))

Wow. I spent so much time trying to figure out what was wrong with the link to the other cell that I completely overlooked that. Thank you so much for your help.
