Over on Facebook, Kristin asks, Help, my blood pressure is going thru the roof. I can’t seem to solve this blood pressure problem.
Okay, I am kidding. That is not what Kristin said. Here we go again…
Let’s simplify Kristin’s problem.
You have some data in the format shown aside.
Click here to download the sample file.
And you want to find out the BP category for each reading, using below rules.
- Normal – SBP < 140 AND DBP < 90
- Grade 1 – SBP 140-159 OR DBP 90-99
- Grade 2 – SBP 160-179 OR DBP 100-109
- Grade 3 – SBP >= 180 OR DBP >= 110
In case of ties, assume the higher grade.
Use these references:
- B4 or [@DBP] for DBP
- C4 or [@SBP] for SBP
You have 3 minutes to write the formula
What’s a BP categorization problem with out some pressure. So time yourself when writing this formula. Try to complete it in 3 minutes and post your answers in the comments section.
