Prepare Grades From Marks On Excel 6088 Od6p3l

This document provides instructions for using Excel formulas to grade student exams based on numeric marks. An IF statement formula is used to assign a letter grade (A, B, C, D, E, or F) to each student's mark based on pre-defined grade ranges. For example, 80-100 would be an A, 60-79 a B, and so on. The formula evaluates each student's mark in column A and returns the corresponding letter grade in column B, making grading easier for teachers.

Prepare Grades from Marks on Excel

Mathematical and logical operations can be performed on a Microsoft Excel workbook with the help of
formulas. One of the most common uses of Excel is to compare rows of data by using an IF statement.
When applied, this function can be used in an array of professional situations, from finding errors in
extensive company financial statements to preparing student grades from marks. This tip will teach you
how to use Microsoft Excel to make grading easier for teachers.

How To Grade Using Excel


Let's take an example whereby a teacher needs to grade each student with a certain letter that
corresponds to the numeric value received on an exam. All number grades are input into column A, and all
letter equivalents need to be quickly calculated and shown in column B. The grading scale is as follows:

80-100=A
60-79=B 50-59=C 40-49=D 30-39=E 0-29=F

Using this information, we can build a compound IF function to find the correct letter associated with the
grade:

=IF(A1<=29,"F",IF(A1<=39,"E",IF(A1<=49,"D",IF(A1<=59,"C",IF(A1<=79,"B","A")))))

In this formula, you will notice that every letter grade is associated with a condition that accounts for each
range of numbers. The FALSE value is A, meaning that if none of the criteria in the equation are met, the
student should be given an "A". Note that the cell reference and condition may be tweaked to suit specific
ranges as well as cell areas.
