AND versus VLOOKUP with If function in Microsoft Excel
Tuesday, July 17th, 2007AND vs. VLOOKUP
Do we have to use AND function or VLOOKUP function ?
The answer depends on the case that we have.
To see the example, I tried to make an experiment using AND and VLOOKUP funtion to solve simple case.

From this experiment I found the same result, although I used two different formula.
The formula I use to fill up cell C5 by using AND function:
=IF(AND(B5>=85,B5<=100),"A",IF(AND(B5>=70,B5<=84),"B",
IF(AND(B5>=60,B5<=69),"C","D")))
I use Table 1 just to make formula easier to read, so this formula does not have to do with Table 1.
To fill up cell F5, I used Table 2 for VLOOKUP function:
=IF(E5>100,”Too big”,VLOOKUP(E5,$E$14:$F$17,2))
And again which function is easier. The decision is yours.
