Help: What function do I need to use in order to add points to a cell if criteria are met?

[tacomcnacho]

In a gradebook simulation I need to figure out how to add points to a final average if the bonus criteria are met. If both the attendance bonus cell AND the HW bonus cell are filled with "y" I need to add 6 points to the final average. If either the attendance bonus OR the HW bonus cells are filled with "y" I need to add 2 points to the final average. Anyone know how I would go about this or what function I need to use?

Your post does not comply with Rule 1 of our Forum RULES. Your post title should accurately and concisely describe your problem, not your anticipated solution.

Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.

To change a Title go to your first post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you.

and also..

Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

Remember to desensitize the data.
