Compare percentage value against decimal Excel - excel

I am a bit stumped with this issue, I was wondering if anyone could suggest a solution. In Excel I have a table which looks like this:
1 2 3 4 5 Result Score
80% 85% 90% 95% 100% 92.5% 3.50
What I am trying to calculate is that proportional score, based on where the result falls within the preset decimal 1-5 score.
Thanks.

In your case where each increment is 5% you could use a simple calculation like
=MAX(0,F2-75%)*20
[where result is in F2]
....but assuming that you want to interpolate the score given potentially less linear values in your table try this formula where your table is in A1:E2
=LOOKUP(F2,A2:E2,A1:E1+(F2-A2:D2)*(B1:E1-A1:D1)/(B2:E2-A2:D2))

for linear interpolation this would be general formula, just name the ranges or replace with cell references:
= (perc - minperc) / (maxperc - minperc) * (maxscore - minscore) + minscore

price calculations weighted values

After a bit of advice on doing a calculator with a sliding scale.
I am building a matrix where we have set price points at intervals based on qty of items. The code I use works fine apart from the first 2 ranges.
Because for 1 qty the unit cost is so high my maths won't work.
Example
Qty 1 = £23.25 (Price per unit is then £23.25)
Qty 10 = £51.59 (Price per unit is then £5.159)
I then have further quantity's that work out correctly.
What I need to be able to do is some sort of weighted value, for 2 off the unit price needs to be near the £20 a unit mark, then 3 off less etc until I get to 10 off # £5.159 a unit.
(It costs more for lesser quantity's, we want to encourage more qty)
Has anyone implemented something like this? From 10 qty onwards the calculation is fine as the unit cost changes are not much at all.
Thanks
Assuming you have quantities form 1 to 10, in column A, put 23.25 in B1 and 51.59 in B10, then the following formula in B2:
=B1+(B$10-B$1)/9
And populate down to B9
in C1 use the following formula:
=B1/A1
and populate down. Final result should look like this:
You could use vlookup with a table as so:

excel weighted average volume

I was wondering how to pull a weighted average of Score1 and Score2 based on Score1 Volume and Score2 Volume. The combined score should be closer to "50" than "100" since the Score1 Volume (50) is greater than Score2 Volume (25). What would be a good weighted formula that would help derive this result. The answer should be around 60 (at least closer to 50). answer in Excel would be appreciated. Thanks!!
You can use a helper column where you multiply your weight to your values or use the sumproduct formula
This YouTube video I made shows a quick example
https://youtu.be/g_vsXp8H7Vg
You could do something like the following (easily transferable to Excel):
score1 = 50
score2 = 100
score1_vol = 50
score2_vol = 25
output = (score1*score1_vol + score2*score2_vol)/(score1_vol + score2_vol)
Returns:
66.66
Assuming 100 is in D2:
=(C2*F2+D2*G2)/(F2+G2)
It may be easier to comprehend with a more tangible example. Say Score is the number of eggs in a box and ScoreVolume is the number of boxes. To calculate the average number of eggs per box you need the total number of 'eggs': (C2*F2+D2*G2) divided by the total number of boxes: (F2+G2).
SUMPRODUCT()
Here is another option using SUMPRODUCT(). This works well with large data sets.

Calculation of average based on a weighted score

I'm trying to calculate an average score based on a list of parameter scores (between 0 and 5). The trick is that I want to be able to weight each parameter.
Eg:
Parameter A Parameter B Parameter C
Weight 100% 70% 0%
Score 4 5 0
In the above example, the average score should be 3,75 as parameter c is left out.
I've tried with this formula: =IF.ERROR(SUM((A3*A5);(B3*B5);(C3*C5))/COUNTA(A3:C3);""). The formula seems to work if none of the parameters weight is equal to 0. How can I adjust the formula, so it excludes a score if weight is equal to zero?
I think it should be rather easy, I just can't get it to work.
Check this :
=SUMPRODUCT( A2:A4, B2:B4 ) / SUM( B2:B4 )
Source : https://exceljet.net/formula/weighted-average
With COUNTA you are counting the non empty cells, while you should count the non zero cells. So, assuming that the weights are in A3:C3 and the scores in A5:C5:
=IFERROR(SUMPRODUCT(A3:C3;A5*C5)/COUNTIF(A3:C3;">0");"Error: all the weigths are 0")
It would be like this:
(1*4 + 0.7*5) / 2 = 3.75
In other world the formula is:
((WeightA/100 * scoreA) + (WeightB/100 * scoreB) + (WeightC/100 * scoreC)) / 3
=SUMPRODUCT(A1:A3;B1:B3) / COUNTIF(B1:B3;"<>0") / 100
Something like this would work

Simulation on Excel with 6 possibilities with different probabilities

So I have a table that looks like this
Arrival Time Probability
0 .09
1 .17
2 .27
3 .2
4 .15
5 .12
And I want excel to randomly create one of the 6 arrival time values based on the given probabilities using RAND(). Is there any way to do this other than to have nested If loops?
here's what I came up with.
I would add a column C that calculates the cumulative brackets from 0-1 each digit would represent. If you start with zero and use formulas to calculate your brackets, you can change the probability if needed in the future. (formulas in photo below)
For example, arrival time of 0 would be between 0 and .09.
Then you can use use the rand() function in column D to generate your random number between 0 and 1 and add a lookup function in column E, or wherever you like. Screenshots of the data and formulas:
Replace your probabilities with cumulative probabilities (with a preliminary line for 0) and use VLOOKUP, exploiting the fact that VLOOKUP finds the closest match:

Excel IF OR Statement

I am having trouble determining the correct way to calculate a final rank order for four categories. Each of the four metrics make up a higher group. A Top 10 of each category is applied to the respective product to risk analysis.
CURRENT LOGIC - Assignment of 25% max per category.
Columns - Y4
Parts
0.25
25
=IF(L9=1,$Y$4,IF(L9=2,$Y$4*0.9, IF(L9=3,$Y$4*0.8, IF(L9=4,$Y$4*0.7, IF(L9=5,$Y$4*0.6, IF(L9=6,$Y$4*0.5, IF(L9=7,$Y$4*0.4, IF(L9=8,$Y$4*0.3, IF(L9=9,$Y$4*0.2, IF(L9=10,$Y$4*0.1,0))))))))))
DESIRED...
I would like to use a statement to determine three criteria in order to apply a score (1=100, 2=90, 3=80, etc..).
SUM the rank positions of each of the four categories-apply product rank ascending (not including NULL since it's not in the Top 10)
IF a product is identified in more than one metric-apply a significant contribution weight of (*.75),
IF a product has the number 1 rank in any of the four metrics-apply a score of (100).
Data - UPDATED EXAMPLE
(Product) Parts Labor Overhead External Final Score
"XYZ" 3 1 7 7 100
"ABC" NULL 6 NULL 2 100
"LMN" 4 NULL NULL NULL 70
This is way beyond my capability. ANY assistance is appreciated greatly!!!

I figured this is a good start and I can alter the weight as needed to reflect the reality of the situation.
=AVERAGE(G28:I28)+SUM(G28:I28)*0.25
However, I couldn't figure out how to put a cap on the score of no more than 100 points.
I am still unclear of what exactly you are attempting and if this will work, but how about this simple matrix using an array formula and some conditional formatting.
Array Formula in F2 (make sure to press Ctrl+Shift+Enter when exiting formula edit mode)
=MIN(100,SUM(IF(B2:E2<>"NULL",CHOOSE(B2:E2,100,90,80,70,60,50,40,30,20,10))))
Conditional Formatting defined as shown below.
Red = 100 value where it comes from a 1
Yellow = 100 value where it comes from more than 1 factor, but without a 1.
