Trying to create formula for old dice game called Kismet.
If basic score is 63 - 70, then a bonus of 35 is added.
If basic score is 71 - 77, then a bonus of 55 is added.
And, if basic score is over 78, then a bonus of 75 is added.

Can get two of three criteria to function, but can't get all three to work. Any ideas?
 
=IF(A1<71,A1+35,IF(A1>78,A1+75,A1+55))

hi,

I prefer to make a table that represents the limits and values you have specified...
[tt]
BaseScore Bonus
0 0
63 35
71 55
78 75
[/tt]
and the formula, using Named Ranges and assuming that your score is in A1
[tt]
=INDEX(Bonus,MATCH(A1,BaseScore,1),1)
[/tt]

Skip,

[glasses]Just traded in my old subtlety...
for a NUANCE![tongue]
 
oops. I didnt account for a score <63. Here is the corrected formula
=IF(A1<63,A1,IF(A1>78,A1+75,IF(A1>70,A1+55,A1+35)))

I prefer lookup tables too, but I'm not always sure a poster will. It helps to know though that this aspect of scoring in Kismet has been the same for several decades.

That worked, Lillabeth.

Nice to see someone else who knows the game of Kismet.
Thanks
