You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our exercises. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.

Do not be fooled by the pretty colours. This exercise is not for the faint-hearted!
We want to calculate the test result status. There are 3 possible results, as shown in this screen shot:
Depending on the data for a result, your formula should return either a calculation of how close the test result is to the maximum allowed value, the word INVALID or the message Not Test 1 or 2.
In cell D4, create a nested =IF formula that does the following:
- Checks that it is Test 1 or Test 2 (if not, the formula should return the text Not Test 1 or Test 2)
- Checks that the value is between the minimum and maximum for that test;
- If it is between the minimum and maximum for the test, the formula should calculate how close it is to the maximum value - otherwise, it should display the message INVALID.
To do this, write down all the conditions and work out how many =IF conditions you need to nest (this should help you), then create your formula and copy it down the rest of the column.
Where you have 2 conditions which must be met, use the =AND function in conjunction with your =IF function.
Here are what your answers should resemble (you will be excused if you want to take a peek in the Answer folder for this exercise!):
It might be best to also use =ROUND!
