Excel - IF Function Problem - Expert Solution

Question description:
This user has given permission to use the problem statement for this blog.

I have a question about Excel, and was wondering if you had a solution. When I am analyzing scores from patients, I typically have to state how many clients had an improved score. So far, I have done this manually by looking at each score from each client. This gets tedious as I have 15-200 or more clients to look at. Is there a formula or program that can compare scores to see if there is an increase or decrease between multiple scores? Thank You,
