Default Maximun IF statements in a cell

You could create a UserForm that has all the choices hard
coded into a drop down list. After the user selects a
desired item a routine would be run to go to the next
step in the process.

For example:

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
FORM_One.cmbTable.AddItem "Choice1"
FORM_One.cmbTable.AddItem "Choice1"
FORM_One.cmbTable.AddItem "Choice1"

End Sub

Private Sub cmbTable_Click()
Whatever you want to happen after they make a selection.
End Sub

You'll have to look into adding forms and controls.

Hope this helps,
Raul

Hello Jason,
thanks. I did a test and seems to work. Now what would

be
the easy way to add this sheet to my other file? I'm
trying to do Macros and stuff so that users dont' do

much.
Users will download a file from our system and then run
the macro. Since this VLOOK table will be in another

file,
I want to copy this shee to the file that users download
using a macro.
Please advise if you have any idea.

Thanks for your help,
juan

My recommendation would be to use a VLOOKUP formula.

First
you must create a table that maps a name to each

Material
group, something like (on Sheet2):

A B
1 FI1 NAME1
2 FI2 NAME1
3 FM1 NAME1
4 FX5 NAME2
5 FX6 NAME2
6 FXC NAME2

Then use:

=VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A:B,2,0)

Hello,
I have Column C that contains about 110 different

material
groups EX, BC1,FF1,FF3,FD1, ext upto 110. I want to

create
a formula in B, which this is Sample:
=IF(OR(C:C="FI1",C:C="FI2",C:C="FM1"),"NAME1",I F(OR
(C:C="FX5",C:C="FX6",C:C="FXC",C:C="FXR"),"NAME 2",IF(OR
(C:C="FV1"),"NAME3",IF(OR

(C:C="BC3",C:C="FV5"),"NAME4"))))
It works fine but when I add more IF(OR i get an

error.
I'm able to have just 7-8 IF(OR so is this the Max in

a
Cell?
I think I need about 24 IF(OR . The file that I

open
might not include all groups, but changes. So my data

file
might contain some groups this month but not all. So

when
I do the formula, I want to be able to look for all

groups.
Any help would be very greateful.
Thanks,
JUAN
