Let's imagine that the number grades are in column A and you want the letter
grades to go to column B, and all data start from Row 2. Make your grading
scale in two empty columns (e.g., C and D), IN ASCENDING ORDER, as follows:
C D
Grade (cutoff) Letter
0 F
60 D-
62 D
67 D+
70 C-
72 C
77 C+
80 B-
82 B
87 B+
90 A-
96 A

In B2, enter the formula, =VLOOKUP(A2,$C$2:$D$13,2,-1), and fill-in the
formula down to the last row.
Note: Make sure that the grades in Col A are rounded off to whole numbers,
to avoid a scenario such as 95.9999 translating into A- (instead of A)!

Regards.
