Question description:
This user has given permission to use the problem statement for this
blog.
I need a formula that if the sum of a range is equal to a number in a bank say in the region of 61 - 80 a specific text is instead shown say "Client A", but if the sum fell in the region of 51 - 60 that a different text would show, for instance "client b", is there such a way or how would you go about it? I've used if sum's before but never to highlight a range. Thank you, Alastair.

Excelchat Expert

You want to show a text rather than the sum value, right?
Excelchat Expert

If you kindly show me some sample data, I would be able to show you how to do it.
User
06/03/2018 - 12:33
yes depending on the result of the sum I need to display 4 categorys
User
06/03/2018 - 12:33
3 in a band then the final one < everything elses
Excelchat Expert

Okay, but do construct a formula, I need to know the 4 categories and also the data if possible.

If you can't show me, I understand and I would show an example with demo data.
User

ok I can't forward the s/s but can mock one up on the table to the right if that's ok?
Excelchat Expert
06/03/2018 - 12:35

So there are three criteria which depending on the selection will give a different weighted score
User
06/03/2018 - 12:37
this will give a score out of 120
User
06/03/2018 - 12:38
bandings are on the right and I could use it either changing the text of the total to read which client
User
06/03/2018 - 12:38
or another cell below showing which client while still leaving the total number, does that make sense?
Excelchat Expert
06/03/2018 - 12:38
Okay, gimme a few minutes.
User

Please look at C8.
Excelchat Expert
06/03/2018 - 12:47
This would also require to format the Bandings table a slightly differently as shown in column I and J.
User
