Most-used Common Specialty
=SUM (A7:G7)
Most Common =SUM(
=IF(SUM (A7:G7)=0,””,SUM(A7:G7))
Most Common =IF(
=IF(true, then, else)=IF(SUM(A7:G7)=0,””,SUM(A7:G7))
The IF function
=IF(A7>=0.9,”A”,(IF(A7>=0.8,”B”,
(IF(A7>=0.7,”C”,(IF(A7>=0.6,”D”,
”F”))
)))))
Nested IFs
=VLOOKUP(B10,$A$2:$B$7,2,1)
Replace Nested IF with VLOOUP
=VLOOKUP(where, table,col.,T/F)
=VLOOKUP(B10,$A$2:$B$7,2,1)
