Hi, I kno this is not a programming query but im a beginner with MS
Excel and cant work out why this formula isnt workin! Here goes:

=IF(NOT(ISERROR(MATCH(A1,ValidData,0))),"IIBD ACC","INVALID CAUSE OR PD
CODE"),IF(NOT(ISERROR(MATCH(A1,ValidData2,0))),"II BD PD","invalid cause
code")

ValidData is cells H1:H4
ValidData2 is cells I1:I4

this is essentially two IF Statments combined so maybe ive done it
wrong?

Id be really really greatful if anyone can help

Thanx loads,
DCM84
