Post a sample spreadsheet with expected results, remove any sensitive data, create a mockup example if necessary.
Use the Go Advanced option at the bottom of the page then scroll down to Manage Attachments as the "paperclip" method does not work on this forum.

Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

Please take a moment to amend your thread title. Make sure that the title properly explains your request. Your title should be explicit and not be generic (this includes function names used without an indication of what you are trying to achieve).
Please see Forum Rule #1 about proper thread titles and adjust accordingly. To edit the thread title, open the original post to edit and then click on Go Advanced (bottom right) to access the area where you can edit your title.

My guess (based on your formulas) is that the value in B30 is entered as text. (If you put quotes around it in a formula, then it is seen as text and not a number). Remove the quotes.

My formula keep returning false when it should be returning a value. What am I doing wrong? See attached spreadsheet:
Because the answer to every one of your “Ifs” is FALSE
If 84.4 >= 90 Nope
If 84.4 < 89.999 and >85, Nope
If 84.4 < 84 and > 80.999, Nope
If 84.4 < 80, nope
You did not give (in the formula, what to do if all were false so it simply returns FALSE
Questions?
What result do you expect?
You dont need AND in the formula

Please correct me if I'm completely wrong
Cells B19 and E19 are also numbers stored as text, which will cause problems as well. Remove the ' in front of the numbers in those cells.

Sbailey - as explained in post #3, I amended your thread title to something clearly describing your issue. I notice Tharp you subsequently took it upon yourself to change it again to something far less descriptive. If a moderator changes a thread title for you, it is done for a reason: please don’t undo their edits. Thank you.

As ChemistB pointed out in post #6, you have nothing in your formula to account for a FALSE return. Alter your formula to this to have it return 0 if none of your statements are true:

This was perfect! I was only missing a "0". Thanks!As ChemistB pointed out in post #6, you have nothing in your formula to account for a FALSE return. Alter your formula to this to have it return 0 if none of your statements are true:
