if the value is less than 12, then 2.0
if the value is 12 to less than 18, then 1.5
if the value is 18 or more, then 1.25
Suppose the value is in cell A1. Here are several options you can try:
1) Using IFS
=IFS(A1<12,2,A1<18,1.5,TRUE,1.25)
2) Using nested IF
=IF(A1<12,2,IF(A1<18,1.5,1.25))
3) Using XLOOKUP
=XLOOKUP(A1,{0,12,18},{2,1.5,1.25},,-1)
