You don't need any IF's
Just use the value in A70 as in index into column C.

You could also use either OFFSET() or INDEX()

I need to use the IF 53 times ! I have 53 rows which I am using filter
and *Subtotal (row70) *I need to get one of the columns "C" to enter
its text (names) into the subtotal row 70.


However I can only use the brackets up to 9 times ( I think) can does
anyone know how to reduce the formula size. *I need to get A70 up to
=53 and likewise with the C column.


=IF(A70=3,C3,IF(A70=4,C4,IF(A70=5,C5,IF(A70=6,C6,I F(A70=6,C6,IF
(A70=7,C7,IF(A70=8,C8,
IF(A70=9,C9))))))))


Row 70 works like this
if the subtotal in column A row 70 = 5 then in the subtotal column C
(where the above formula is) it puts the name of the person, * all the
other subtotal columns are for data and they work fine. * This does
what I need but I need but only up to number 9, I need to get the
"equals" up to number 53 and therefore the C part of the formula up to
53.
