See my response. You can use VLOOKUP to find the number of years based on
the table I created. Then you need to return the the number of days based
on the Grade level. In the VLOOKUP function, you have to tell it which
column of your table you want the result pulled from. To get the
appropriate column to correspond with the Grade level, the formula looks and
the grade level and assigns a number (a column number).

Try it.
First, create your table. As in the example I gave:

From O2 through O11, enter the numbers 1-10. These numbers represent the
number of years.
From P2 through P11, enter the number of vacation days that correspond to
the number of years of service for grades 1-9.
From Q2 through Q11, enter the number of vacation days that correspond to
the number of years of service for grades 10-15.
From R2 through R11, enter the number of vacation days that correspond to
the number of years of service for grades 16+.

The table will basically look like this.

1 10 15 20
2 12 16 20
3 13 17 20
4 13 17 20
5 15 18 20
6 15 18 20
7 17 19 20
8 17 19 20
9 17 19 20
10 20 20 20

Then your VLOOKUP formula will look like this:

=IF(T1<1,"Less than 1
Year",VLOOKUP(C1,O2:R11,IF(AND(T1=1,T1<10),2,IF(A ND(T19,T1<16),3))))

Thanks. Didn't have any luck with that feature. Even downloaded a sample
copy. It needs to look at the Grade # and then the # of years, and then
pull
that number from that box, but limited options on the VLookUp. It needs
to
look at a separate cell with the # of years worked, then another cell that
has the Grade level, and then determine how much vacation.

I am wanting to create a statement that will look at the employees

I have tried the basic =IF(AND(C16<=9, T16=1), "10", "0")+IF(AND....
but that statet gets too long with more than 47 +IF statements which
are not
allowed.

Need if

I have included an example chart.

Length of Service Grades 1-9 Grades 10-15 Grades 16+
At least 1 but < 2 years 10 days 15 days 20 days
At least 2 but < 3 years 12 days 16 days 20 days
At least 3 but < 5 years 13 days 17 days 20 days
At least 5 but < 7 years 15 days 18 days 20 days
At least 7 but < 10 years 17 days 19 days 20 days
10 years or more 20 days 20 days 20 days


Basically if they are a grade 11 with 7 years of service, I want it to
say
19. For a Grade 14 with 5 years of service, to say 18 days.

I can do the less than 9 years, but can't figure out to check grades
10-15,
and 3-4 years.

Thanks.
