    Question Using Excel/ IF function to show a specific value/ text

    Hi,

    I am new to the forum and looking for help as my knowledge of Excel is very simplistic.

    I am currently trying to set up a document that records the Bradford factor and number of absences. I am hoping to auto populate based on the total absence what action needs to be taken.

    I am trying to create the IF function to include the following conditions;

    <10 No Action
    <100 Meeting
    <300 Verbal
    <400 Disc
    <600 Dismissed

    I am hoping someone can advise or suggest a better function/ formula to use in Excel.

    Thanks in advance

    Jade

    You could use the LOOKUP function.

    Re: Using Excel/ IF function to show a specific value/ text

    Assuming that your number will be in a1 cell
    =VLOOKUP(A1,{0,"No Action";10,"Meeting";100,"Verbal";300,"Disc";400,"Dismissed"},2,1)
