    Compare cells, if true, result in another column

    Hi all,

    See attachment for example

    My students takes an exam.

    Student has 19 points (M5 =SUM(C5:L5)) of 110 points.

    2,6 is than the result of the student his exam


    I want to compare colums M with column O and column O with column P.

    Result column P sets automatically in column B



    Example:

    I want that Excel automatically set B5 to 2,6



    M5 result compare with O1:O223, if true compare it with P1:P223 and that's the result for B5.

    What's the correct formula?

    Try

    =VLOOKUP($M5,$O$1:$P$223,2,FALSE)

    =VLOOKUP(M6;$O$1:$P$223;2;FALSE)

    Thanks for your help!
