This means that even students with GRAD and UNCL status (in addition to those with UGRD status) are allowed to take the course. The grading system used for UNCL and UGRD students, however, is different from the grading system used for GRAD students. First, Professor Grey needs to complete column B of his class list (in an Excel spreadsheet) to assign each student to the correct four-letter Status. He wants to use a VLOOKUP function. Professor Grey intends to type up the formula in cell B2, and then drag the formula down to cell B15. The lookup table will be in F3:G5. Complete the lookup table F3:G5 below by entering appropriate values. Since F3:G5 is in an Excel worksheet, do not use double quotations when entering text in a cell. Do not leave any space or use $ sign. Also, do not use comma when entering a number.
