Default Urgent - Setting up a formula

I am setting a following formula:

=IF(AB187,"A",IF(AB184,"B+",IF(AB178,"B",IF(AB1 72,"C",IF(AB173,"F",0)))))

for grades of student.

It gives me error. For example. If student got 87 he should have B+
according to formula. However, excel gives me "A" instead of B+.

Please help

Probably your AB list is text. You can check with the ISTEXT() function.
Copy an empty cell.
Select your AB column data
EditPaste special, check Add
Ok now?

You could arrange a crteria table
In column a the limits for each grade and column B the actual grade letter so.
