How to write a step function using IF functions

I have 3 ranges of numbers and the answer depends on the range.

75-79 -> 0.255
80-84 -> 0.327
85+   -> 0.559

I tried to create an equation that accounts for the ranges by using nested IF functions, but Excel states that I have entered too many arguments for this function. Below is the equation that I entered that is not working. (X2 contains the number)

=IF(X2=75,X2<=79,0.255,IF(X2=80,X2<=84,0.327,IF(X2>=85,0.559,0)))

I also tried to enter the range of numbers into another sheet - Age, and got an error #Value!.

=IF(X2=Age!开发者_运维百科A1:A5,0.257,IF(X2=Age!A6:A10,0.327,IF(X2=Age!A11:A33,0.559,0)))

=IF(X2>=85,0.559,IF(X2>=80,0.327,IF(X2>=75,0.255,-1)))

Explanation:

=IF(X2>=85,                  'If the value is in the highest bracket
      0.559,                 'Use the appropriate number
      IF(X2>=80,             'Otherwise, if the number is in the next highest bracket
           0.327,            'Use the appropriate number
           IF(X2>=75,        'Otherwise, if the number is in the next highest bracket
              0.255,         'Use the appropriate number
              -1             'Otherwise, we're not in any of the ranges (Error)
             )
        )
   )

You need to use the AND function for the multiple conditions:

=IF(AND(A2>=75, A2<=79),0.255,IF(AND(A2>=80, X2<=84),0.327,IF(A2>=85,0.559,0)))

Your formula should be of the form =IF(X2 >= 85,0.559,IF(X2 >= 80,0.327,IF(X2 >=75,0.255,0))). This simulates the ELSE-IF operand Excel lacks. Your formulas were using two conditions in each, but the second parameter of the IF formula is the value to use if the condition evaluates to true. You can't chain conditions in that manner.

This is what I did:

Very simply put:

=IF(C7>100,"Profit",IF(C7=100,"Quota Met","Loss"))

The first IF Statement, if true will input Profit, and if false will lead on to the next IF statement and so forth :)

I only have basic formula knowledge but it's working so I will accept I am right!
