Excel help wanted :)

Hey does anyone know the formula to do this.

I have 2 columns with student marks in called "exam mark" and "coursework mark", if they fall below 40 then they fail that module and are entitled to a resit. I have a third column called resits. I need a formula to determine what modules were failed and display them like so. "None", "Exam", "Coursework", "Both"

Im stuck Ive been working with nested IF statements......but am only confuesing myself.....anyone care to help..much appreciated.

Thanks!

More info needed. Is the grade in the exam column and could the user appear more than once in that column?

Welcome to the Board!

Maybe you can attach a sample of your worksheet.

Hi Dave
If Exam Scores are in column D, and Coursework in Column E and resits in F beginning at row 6, for example, then try this:
=IF(AND(D6<40,E6<40),"Both",IF(D6<40,"Exam",IF(E6< 40,"Coursework","None")))
