Formula for classification system

D

Dean

Hi all,

Essentially what I am after is a formula, which I am assuming will
have to include VLOOKUP at some point, that will allow me to classify
data into a five character classification system.

A B C D
E F G H
Bldg_Const Load bearing Height Age Age band Bldg_Cond Quality
Classification

Mix.Material Shear Wall Low-rise 1920 pre-1940
Good Sound
Roughcst,etc Moment Low-rise 1920 pre-1940
Good Sound
Mix.Material Braced Frame Low-rise 1920 pre-1940 Average
Sound
Brick Load bearing Low-rise 1960 1960-1979 Good
Sound
Concrete Portal Frame Low-rise 1960 1960-1979
Fair Deficient
Steel/G-Iron Shear Wall Med-rise 1960 1960-1979
Average Sound
Stone Unreinforced Low-rise 1960 1960-1979 Average Sound


Above is my sample data, and below is the actual data definitions to
create the Classification code. An example of this code is CWL5S which
is derived from [reinforced concrete, shear wall, low-rise, pre-1970
and sound]. By using the data in the pertinent columns A-M I would
like to end up with that 5 character classification in column H.

I would be very grateful if you could offer any assistance regarding
this. If it will make it easier I can send a spreadsheet with the
sample data in it.

Thanks in advance,
Dean
