Long and Wrong Nested IF

Using Excel 2003,

Here's my original table....

I'm trying to get this nested if to work with the above table,

=IF(C5=9,{F5<E5,0;F5<135,0;F5<170,1;F5<205,2;F5<230,3;F5<260,4,5}IF(C5=10,{F5<E5,0;F5<135,0;F5<180,1;F5<210,2;F5<235,3;F5<275,4,5}IF(C5=11,{F5<E5,0;F5<135,0;F5<185,1;F5<230,2;F5<250,3;F5<305,4,5}IF(C5=12,{F5<E5,0;F5<135,0;F5<190,1;F5<240,2;F5<270,3;F5<315,4,5}))))

Here are some examples of what should be entered into Column G.
The student from row 7 should have a 5 entered because he's in class 11 and his max is 305.

The student in row 6 should have a 0 entered because he weighs less than 135 AND maxed less than his body weight.

The student in row 8 should have a 1 entered because he weighs less than 135 BUT maxed at least his body weight.

I hope this makes more sense than my explanation in the thread, Entering an entire table in one cell....

Thanks again.

Scott

Kinda hard to make sense of Scott, but think I have it sorted from your other post as well.

Start by adding a Named Range called Class9 (no spaces) to the weights below (not including BW(E5)

do the same for the other classes

Then enter the formula
=IFERROR(MATCH(F6,INDIRECT("class"&C6),1),IF(F6>=E6,1,0))
Into G6 and autofill down.

Hope this helps

That didn't work. Is there something wrong with my formula that would prevent it from working? That's why I added the second table., to let you know that I also had the individual numbers in cells. I should have also told you that the second table is on another worksheet in the same workbook, if that matters.

[jasonb75]

Scott, I couldn't see the formula in your original post, but what I put up earlier worked for me on 2 sheets
Did you apply the named ranges, i.e Class9 to 135,170,205,230,260

Took your cell references from the "table in a cell" thread, but might have misread something, using your original table from this thread I had entered the heading Class in C5, Points in G5, is that wrong?

 

[Scott Krause]

Sal, That's very close. H3 should have a value of 1, H2 and H4 should have values of 5. What do the $ signs mean (I'm extremely new to Excel, if you couldn't tell...)?

Also, the writing below the line, is that directed at me or is that your sig? I hope I didn't come off as being upset. I'm very apologetic about my inability to clearly communicate the problem I'm having. I've been able to describe my problem to coworkers in a much more concise manner (it helps to have them see the steps I'm trying to take). Again, I apologize for the confusion.


Jason, I did apply the name ranges, I got #NAME/? in the cell.

Thanks again guys,

Scott

 

[Sal Paradise]

It's my sig. Don't take it personally.

I'm confused as to what exactly you're doing if you say you want your results to be 5-1-5-0.

My understanding is that you look at the class in the Table, find the person's WT in that column, and look at the corresponding point total.

Person 5's weight is 175, which puts him at 2. Person 6's weight is at 85 which puts him at 0. Even if you were using max, person 6 wouldn't be 1 by any standards.

If you want to look up MAX instead, then I get this:

Excel Workbook
	A	C	D	E	F	G
1	Name	Class	HT	WT	Max	Points
2	5	9	0	175	305	5
3	6	10	0	95	85	0
4	7	11	0	226	305	5
5	8	12	0	110	110	0
Points

Which seems closer, but there's no way G3 would be 1.

 

[jasonb75]

Scott, that's Sal's sin line, not directed at you, it's easy for you to understand what you do every day on paper maybe, but we have to get to grips with the process first

anyway, got it sussed now, using Sal's formula with a bit of change (Thanks Sal)

=IF(F5<E5,0,IFERROR(MATCH(F5,INDEX($E$20:$H$24,,MATCH(C5,$E$18:$H$18))),1))
all on one sheet for test purpose but 2 sheets is not a problem

[jasonb75]

Just realised a bug in that last formula, would give wrong results for heavier students if max was between 135 and BW, this one should resolve it

=IFERROR(MATCH(F5,INDEX($B$14:$E$18,,MATCH(C5,$B$12:$E$12))),IF(F5<E5,0,1))

 

[Scott Krause]

Sal,

Yes, I'm trying to look at the Max.

What I'm doing is setting up a weight lifting program for our HS. The program has a club where entrance into the club is based on the number of points you earn. One of the tests, in this case the Bench Press, is determined by your Max. The thing that is making it so difficult is that if the kid's body weight is less than 135 lbs we don't want to punish him or prevent him from earning any points. So, we give them the option to Max his body weight, if he does, he gets 1 point.

The reason person 3 is 0 is because his body weight is less than 135 and his Max is less than his weight.

Is there any way we can add this into the formula, or should I petition to drop the bodyweight portion?

Thanks, everyone on the board has been a life saver and a great teacher.
