    Question grading system conditional formatting

    Hi!

    I am trying to add a 3rd condition on my if function:

    =IF(I6="","",IF(OR(D6<74.5,E6<74.5,F6<74.5,G6<74.5,H6<74.5),IF(I6>=75,"SUMMER CLASS"),IF(I6<75,"FAILED","")))

    To explain, D6:H6 contains the grade of a student in a particular subject & I6 has the average of the 6 cells (D6:H6). Now, the condition indicates that "SUMMER CLASS" will appear in J6 if there is a grade lower than 74.50 in any of the 6 cells even if the average is >=75 and "FAILED" will appear if the student has an average lower than 75.

    The 3rd condition that I wanted to add is for the word "RETAIN" to appear if there are 3 or more <74.50 grades in cells C6:H6 even if the student has an average of >=75.

    Thanks for all your help!

    Are you purposely excluding History (column C) from your original formulas and only adding it for the new condition?

    Hi,

    Yes, column C is only added on the new condition. A small glitch, "FAILED" doesn't appear when average is <75.

    Thanks!

    Re: grading system conditional formatting

    What is the priority of conditions....

    The formula I gave, follows your condition that if 3 or more appear below 75, then "Retain" is entered and supercedes the PASS/FAIL.

    Try this one:

    Re: grading system conditional formatting

    Conditions are:

    1. If average <75 even if all subjects have >=74.50 grade = Failed
    2. If average >=75 but failing on 3+ subjects = Retained
    3. If average >=75 but failing on 1 or 2 subjects (expect History) = For Summer Class

    * passing average = 75.00
    * passing grade per subject = 74.50
    * no rounding off
