How do I figure GPA weighting into a gradebook on Excel?

I have come up with a spreadsheet that helps teachers in my school to figure up their grades and minimize human error. Next, I would like to find a way for it to figure up GPA based on tables I have already inserted into the spreadsheet. The only problem is that there are three different GPA weighting systems, one for AP, one for Honors, and one for college prep. how can I do a formula that would allow the teacher to tell which weighting it is, and then it would figure out the GPA based on that?

Depends on how your GPA tables are set up:

If they are 3 different tables, you can look up the grade in each table with an if statement:

=if (type=AP, vlookup(… AP table), if(type=Honors, vlookup(…Honors table), and so on.

Or, you could have one table, where 85 for example, converts to a different grade depending on AP, Honors, etc.

– in this case, you can determine which column in the table to look in based on which type of course it is. For example:

=VLOOKUP(B2, $G$1:$K$10, C2, TRUE)

– B2 is the numerical grade you’re looking up

– $G$1:$K$10 is the table with the grades

— G1-G10 has the numerical grade thresholds

— H1-H10 are the corresponding letter grades for AP

— I1-I10 are the letter grades for Honors, etc.

– C2 is the offset, and it would be set to 2 for AP (since AP is the second column in the table), 3 for Honors, etc.

– so if C2 is 2 it will look in col. H to get the grade, for example

If you need more info, please add detail or e-mail.

Good luck.

I think AP and Honors classes both worth the same GPA.
