IFS
Appreciate if someone could advice me the reason I am getting this error for IFS function?
| A | B | C | |
| 1 | Standard | Score | Outcome |
| 2 | 8 | 6 | #NAME? |
| 3 | 8 | 0 | #NAME? |
=IFS(B4<=A4,"P","F",B4="0","NA")
- Solved .. Thanks a lot.

choongko Try it this way:
=IFS(B2=0,"NA",B2<=A2,"P",B2>A2,"F")in C2 and copy it down.
This is what the Help screen says about the use of the IFS function:
"The IFS function checks whether one or more conditions are met, and returns a value that corresponds to the first TRUE condition."
- Strange, I am still getting the same error.
choongko Then your Excel version probably doesn't support the IFS function. From the help screens, this is what it says:
"Note: This feature is available on Windows or Mac if you have Office 2019, or if you have a Microsoft 365 subscription"
So, if IFS doesn't work in your Excel version you are stuck with regular nested IF functions.
EDIT: Should have seen this from the start as the #NAME? error indicates that Excel doesn't recognise something as a valid function. But I just copied your original formula into a mock-up schedule and got a different error. Then I focussed on resolving that error in stead of addressing the name error.
