Pete First comment would be that I think (I haven't done an exhaustive check) that none of your AND()s are needed. Looking at the first one, AND(I3=3) is equivalent to I3=3, so I think you can simplify the formula quite a bit. Second, look at what follows the '+' - is there a typo in that part of the equation? Bruce

Hi, yes, the "+" was a typo.

Here is what I canged it to..
=IF((I3=3),6,IF((I3=5),1,IF((I3=7),4,IF((I3="A"),7 ,IF((I3="C"),0,IF((I3="G"),3,IF((I3="K"),8,IF((I3= "R"),5,IF((I3="T"),9,IF((I3="X",2,""))

But now I'm getting the following error message:

"the specified formula cannot be entered because it uses more levels of nesting than are allowed in the current file format."
