Can someone provide me with the correct format to accomplish the following?

I want to assign values to the following percentages derived from the difference between the High of the day and the Close of the Day.

I want to assign the value of: "5" if the resulting % is less than .25%
of: "4" if the resulting % is less than .50%
of: "3" if the resulting % is less than 1%
of: "2" if the resulting % is less than 2%
of: "1" if the resulting % is less than 3.5%
of: "0" if the resulting % is greater than 3.5%.

Thanks, Michael

I don't think this can be done. You are thinking this is like an IF() statement in Excel, the current SF programming language does not support this.

Thanks Kevin:

Yes, I was actually trying to get an excel function out of excel and into SF.

I was hoping that someone had tricked this out.

This might work......
Fetcher[
set{diff, high - close}
set{diffP, diff / close}
set{diffP1,diffP * 100}
set{cnt1,count( diffP1 < 3.5,1)}
set{cnt2,count( diffP1 < 2,1)}
set{cnt3,count( diffP1 < 1,1)}
set{cnt4,count( diffP1 < 0.5,1)}
set{cnt5,count( diffP1 < 0.2,1)}
set{sum1,cnt1 + cnt2}
set{sum2,cnt3 + cnt4}
set{sum3,sum1 + sum2}
set{sum4,sum3 + cnt5}

close above 100
volume above 10000000
add column high
add column close
add column diff
add column diffP
add column diffP1
add column sum4
]
