ASSIGNMENT – 30

Use of Formula – NESTED IF

Topic: Student Marks & Grade Calculation

Use Nested IF to calculate the grade of each student according to the given grading criteria.


PART A – Student Marks & Grade

Enter the following data in Excel:

NAME TOTAL MARKS GRADE
Aarav Sharma 96  
Riya Kapoor 89  
Karan Mehta 83  
Neha Singh 77  
Rohit Verma 72  
Simran Kaur 68  
Mohit Jain 63  
Pooja Gupta 57  
Rahul Saini 48  
Ananya Sharma 92  

PART B – Grade Criteria

Use the following grading system:

MARKS GRADE
90–100 A+
85–<90 A
80–<85 B+
75–<80 B
70–<75 C+
65–<70 C
60–<65 D+
50–<60 D
Below 50 F

Questions

Q.1 Use Nested IF to calculate the Grade of all students according to the given Grade Criteria.

Q.2 Find the Grade of Aarav Sharma.

Q.3 Find the Grade of Riya Kapoor.

Q.4 Find the Grade of Karan Mehta.

Q.5 Find the Grade of Neha Singh.

Q.6 Find the Grade of Simran Kaur.

Q.7 Find the Grade of Mohit Jain.

Q.8 Find the Grade of Pooja Gupta.

Q.9 Find the Grade of Rahul Saini.

Q.10 Find the Grade of Ananya Sharma and calculate how many students received A+ Grade.


Formula Task

Assume:

  • A2 = Student Name

  • B2 = Total Marks

  • C2 = Grade

Enter the following Nested IF formula in C2:

=IF(B2>=90,"A+",IF(B2>=85,"A",IF(B2>=80,"B+",IF(B2>=75,"B",IF(B2>=70,"C+",IF(B2>=65,"C",IF(B2>=60,"D+",IF(B2>=50,"D","F"))))))))

Then drag the formula down from C2 to C11.


Count A+ Students

After calculating all grades, use:

=COUNTIF(C2:C11,"A+")

This will calculate the total number of students who received A+.


Important Point

The conditions should be checked from highest marks to lowest marks:

90 → 85 → 80 → 75 → 70 → 65 → 60 → 50 → Below 50

For example:

  • 96 → A+

  • 89 → A

  • 83 → B+

  • 77 → B

  • 72 → C+

  • 68 → C

  • 63 → D+

  • 57 → D

  • 48 → F
