formula help reqd please

[paul thomas]

Hi there

I am having trouble trying to display result.

Basically say A1 has 10 in it and A2 has 5 in it A3 has the formula
A3 =sum(A1-A2) {answer =5}

What I want it do do is... say A4 displays HW as per the key.
so if A1 = 2 and A2 = 7 A3 answer is -5 - A4 then displays AD and so on

the key
0 to 3 = HD
4 + = HW
-1 to -5 = AD
-6 + = AW

Any help gratefully appreciated.

cheers
Paul

Try this (works for me):
=IF(A3>=4,"HW",IF(A3>=0,"HD",IF(A3>=-5,"AD","AW")))

FWIW, I (personally) would change A3 to "=A1-A2".
