This document discusses using the VLOOKUP function in Excel to look up a student's grade based on their percentage score. It provides a table that lists percentage ranges and the corresponding letter grades. It explains that a VLOOKUP formula can be used to easily look up and return the correct grade by matching the student's percentage to the table, rather than using nested IF functions. This allows the grades to be more easily edited or modified in the future by changing the source table.

1. VLOOKUP Function

2. 90% AA 80% A+ 60% A 45% B+ 35% B 25% C 00% D Find out the Grade follow the table. Find out the grade of a student from the giving table

3. 90% AA 80% A+ 60% A 45% B+ 35% B 25% C 00% D Find out the Grade follow the table. Normally we type the formula like … IF(G3>=90,"AA",IF(G3>=80,"A+",IF(G3>=60,"A",IF(G3>=45,"B+",IF(G3>=35,"B",IF(G3>=25,"C","D"))))))

4. 90% AA 80% A+ 60% A 45% B+ 35% B 25% C 00% D But this is not easy to rectify or edit a grade. SO HERE WE USE VLOOKUP

5. Create another table

6. Now we consider the following formula … VLOOKUP(G3,$L$3:$M$9,2)

7. Press Enter DESCRIPTION OF THE FORMULA G3 is the value to be found $L$3:$M$9 is the grade table in which data is looked up 2 is the column number in grade table from which the matching grade must be returned

8. So we got the desire result. It is every small and easy to rectify or edit a grade.
