VLOOKUP in Excel with grade book.

Default VLOOKUP in Excel with grade book.

I have an excel workbook that I use to keep track of all my grades.



Each sheet works like this:

I put the name of the assignment (Col. A) then the points I got (Col. B), then the points it's worth (Col. C), and finally the percent I got (Col. D). At the bottom I have the total points I got in the course, then total number possible in the course, and my percent next to it.

I thought it would be neat to add a VLOOKUP function. So I would know what my current grade was. Instead of just my current percentage then looking up what that corresponded to.

I gave it a try with one of my sheets. Whenever I do the VLOOKUP function all I get is an F instead of what the grade should be.

Here is my function

Code:
=VLOOKUP(D25,A28:C38,3,TRUE)
D25 holds my percent for the class. A25:C38 holds the low percent for a grade, the high percent for a grade, and the letter grade it is worth.

I do not know what I am doing wrong. I even tried changing the percent to what the points would be and then taking my total points in the class. That also did not work.

Any ideas?

Thanks

There's nothing wrong with the function.

Convert cells D25 and A28:A38 to decimal format and make sure they're comparable.

Cheers,

Thanks for the reply but I found out what I was doing wrong.

I had my look up table going from A-F High-Low. Instead of F-A Low-High.

Thanks for help!
