    Need Help Creating a Letter Grade excel formula to be used in SharePoint.

    Hey everyone! Thank you so much in advance for your help!

    Okay now the issue, I have read many different posts on the site that explain how to take Letter Grades Lets say for example A, B, C, D and F and add a numeric value to them and then average it and convert it back to a Letter grade which shows the average using another table to look it up - my issue is I'm using this formula for a SharePoint Survey and there is no way of looking up from another table to my knowledge

    So my question remains - How do I Average out letter Grades and make the result a letter grade without having to add a separate table? Thanks!!

    With grades in A1:A10,

    =MID("FDCBA", ROUND(AVERAGE(SEARCH(A1:A10, "FDCBA")), 0), 1)

    The function MUST be confirmed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter instead of just Enter.

    Try this:
    =IF(69-INT((COUNTIF(A2:A7,"A")*4+COUNTIF(A2:A7,"B")*3+COUNTIF(A2:A7,"C")*2+COUNTIF(A2:A7,"D")*1)/(COUNTA(A2:A7)))>68, "F",CHAR(69-INT((COUNTIF(A2:A7,"A")*4+COUNTIF(A2:A7,"B")*3+COUNTIF(A2:A7,"C")*2+COUNTIF(A2:A7,"D")*1)/(COUNTA(A2:A7)))))

    The grades are in column A2:A7. This formula is a little more stringent because it rounds down instead of rounding up. So if GPA is 1.8 then this is still an F but the other formula would have it be D. So it depends on how much you want your students to sweat

    Aha I see, but this formula only works if I had assigned a number grade originally no? I'm using a letter grade from start to finish

    The formula first converts letters to numbers, the it calculates the average and then it converts it back to a letter. It's not a very graceful solution but it should work. Try plugging it in and play around with it to see if that is what you're looking for.

    Re: Need Help Creating a Letter Grade excel formula to be used in SharePoint.

    With A2:A7 contains A,B,C,D,F,...

    This will gives average of code values, then converts back number

    =CHAR(ROUND(AVERAGE(INDEX(CODE($A$2:$A$7),)),0))

    That would, in some circumstances, return an "E", no?
