Hi, It looks like your calculations are not working as you are Displaying the numbers as text. For Example: The following Formula: = IF(sheet1!Q2>74,"1",IF(sheet1!Q2>69,"2",IF(sheet1!Q2>64,"3",IF(sheet1!Q2>59,"4",IF(sheet1!Q2>49,"5",IF(sheet1!Q2>44,"6",IF(sheet1!Q2>39,"7",IF(sheet1!Q2>29,"8",IF(sheet1!Q2>1,"9","")))))))))
Can be written as: = IF(sheet1!Q2>74,1,IF(sheet1!Q2>69,2,IF(sheet1!Q2>64,3,IF(sheet1!Q2>59,4,IF(sheet1!Q2>49,5,IF(sheet1!Q2>44,6,IF(sheet1!Q2>39,7,IF(sheet1!Q2>29,8,IF(sheet1!Q2>1,9,""))))))))) "1" (text) changed to 1 (numeric) After you have modified your formulas, then in the final column you can use the formula: =IF(COUNTIF(A2:BL2,"missed")<8,"Missed",SUM(D2,H2,L2,P2,T2,X2,AB2,AF2,AJ2,AN2,AR2,AV2,AZ2,BD2,BH2,BL2)) Copy down the formula to the last row of your range and it should give you the desired result.
