Using IF Function To Create Scale

I am trying to create a scale using IF functions in Excel.

I have a row of numbers that I want to convert to my scale. My scale is fairly simple, less than 1 =1 and more than 10 = 1
After that, any number between 1-2 gets a 10, any number between 2-3 gets a 9, any number between 3-4 gets a 8, etc.

So, what I have done is take a logic if-then function and applied it to my row of numbers. It looks something like this:

=IF(2<D2<3,9)

However, this doesn't work. I have a number (2.55), and instead of showing a 9, it says FALSE. I am pretty sure 2.55 falls between 2 and 3 on the scale. Why won't it work?

Also, is there any way to create a function where I could put each of my if/then functions to create my whole scale? Right now I just have 10 separate columns for each number on my scale.
