Multiple If(and( formula not working

Copper Contributor

Hello.  I am trying to have excel calculate the quandrant that something falls in.  I have the criteria and I can get the formul to work for 3 of the sections, but when I add the fourth, it fails.  I have tried multiple things and searched for a solution and have not found one yet.  Hoping you can figure out what I am doing wrong.

This formula works, but it is only capturing three of the quandrants:

1. You did not show your current formula.

2. Your definitions exclude the values 2571 for x and 2719 for y.

 

=LET(
a,COUNTIFS($A4,"<2571",$B4,"<2719")*1,
b,COUNTIFS($A4,"<2571",$B4,">2719")*2,
c,COUNTIFS($A4,">2571",$B4,"<2719")*3,
d,COUNTIFS($A4,">2571",$B4,">2719")*4,
e,SUM(a,b,c,d),
CHOOSE(e,"Worked well","Needs to change","Unanswered questions","New ideas to try"))

 

@Detlef Lewin  Sorry.  It must have got deleted before I submitted.  These were the formulas I was trying, but I could only get it to do three of the quadrants.  When I added the fourth, it did not work.

  1. This works, but only contains three of the quadrants: =IF(AND(U26<2571,T26<2719),"Worked Well",IF(AND(U26<2571,T26>2719),"Needs to Change",IF(AND(U26>2571,T26<2719),"Unanswered Questions”),""")))
  2. This works, but it is only the quadrant that will not work in the above formula: =IF(AND(U27>2571,T27>2719),"New Ideas to Try")
  3. This does NOT work, and it contains all four quadrants:  =IF(AND(U26<2571,T26<2719),"Worked Well",IF(AND(U26<2571,T26>2719),"Needs to Change",IF(AND(U26>2571,T26<2719),"Unanswered Questions”,IF(AND(U26>2571,T26>2719),"New Ideas to Try"),""”))))

I need number three to work, but cannot figure out what Excel does not like☹

@Kathryn Bentson 

=IF(AND(U26<2571,T26<2719),"Worked Well",IF(AND(U26<2571,T26>2719),"Needs to Change",IF(AND(U26>2571,T26<2719),"Unanswered Questions",IF(AND(U26>2571,T26>2719),"New Ideas to Try",""))))

An alternative to the solution with the LET formula could be this formula.
