Nested IF Functions
Create complex conditions using nested IF statements.
Task:
You are assigning grades based on a complex grading scale with multiple cutoffs. Create grade categories in column C: A (90+), B (80-89), C (70-79), D (60-69), and F (<60) using nested IF functions to accurately reflect student performance.
Learning Objectives:
- Master nested IF statements
- Understand complex conditional logic
- Practice multi-level decision making

| 4 | Tom | 76 | |
| 5 | Sarah | 65 | |
| 6 | Mike | 58 |
What this exercise teaches (contains the answer)
Nested IF functions allow for complex multi-condition logic by embedding IF statements within each other, evaluating conditions sequentially.
