Explaining my Excel Document

IF Statement

This is an “IF and” statement and the purpose of this formula was to see if students would receive a discount. |The formula shows that if they are year 1a’s and have receives more than 200 points then they receive a 5 pound discount.

Nested If StatementThis statement is based on net points, if they receive less than 50 points they get nothing, if its between 50-100 they receive a reward and over 100 a trip.

Taking Away and relative Cell Reference

To calculate the net points I had to take away the total behaviour points from the achievement points

Also as you can see I used a relative cell reference. The example shows as I copied the formula down using the fill handle it calculatd using the rows below

VLOOKUPPrice

I used the VLOOKUP to calculate the cost of the trips on my maintanle using the reward table as the VLOOKUP reference

Named Ranges

I named these two tables tutor and trips hence these are my named ranges.

Count IF and Absolute Cell referencing

I have used Count IF to refer to the main table and count how many trips and rewards students attended

I used absolute cell referencing in this count if formula to ensure it refers as to the same table cells

Sum if

I used a Sum If to refer to the main table and calculate the total points gathered by each house.

The tables on the right were the data columns used

Evidence of a function

I used the auto sum function to calculate the total positive and behaviour points.
