Notes for Lookup table Data in lookup tables must be in an ascending order You should use absolute reference to fill out the function

e.g. use $A$1:$A$5 Instead of A1:A5 for values that you don’t want its location to change in fill out

You should use a value of 0 for rank E, so that any value from 0 to 500 will be E Always, ask your self if the answer is correct or not for

randomly selected values
