I am trying to make a grade scale and for whatever reason it is working wrong. If any number under 100 is tried it gives a N/A and anything of 100 gives a F not how it should work. What am doing wrong with this?

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
VLOOKUP with approximate match requires sorting the data in ascending order. See below(and 2 formula examples)

ABCD
170.50%CC

30%F

Formula in D1
=INDEX(D3:D20,MATCH(A1,C3:C20,-1))

Hope this helps

I ended up resorting them smallest to largest and used =LOOKUP(A1,C3:C20,D3:D20) thank you both for your help
