In Excel: IMPORTANT!!!
• Take the lower end of each range
• Arrange them in ascending order
• Put the numbers you will look up on the left
Enter the grading scale into Excel
Use the VLOOKUP formula
=VLOOKUP(F2,I$2:J$12,2,TRUE)
F2: What am I looking up (the test
average for the student)

I$2:J$12: Where am I looking it up (in


the grading scaling area – $ fix the
numbers when I copy down)

2: The column of the look-up I will use


for the displayed result. It ALWAYS uses
the first column for looking up. In this
case the 2nd. Imagine if in the column
next to F, it said “failure” and next to D
“below average” etc.

TRUE: I am uses ranges – so the test


average does not have to match exactly
one of the values in column I but rather
just fall in a range
