Yes you could do that. You might need to watch the order in which you
arrange the two cells.

Why not post your requirement. I often find that contributors here
come up with quite elegant and much simpler solutions than you might
think.

You are limited to 7 levels of nested functions. Perhaps you can use
VLOOKUP or CHOOSE instead of a series of IFs.

Hello!

How many tests functions does Excel authorizes in one formula?
for instance:

=IF(...;...; IF(...;...IF(...,... IF(...;...; .... ))))

I went up to 8, then I get an error message asking me to check the
parentheses the punctuation.. even if it's correct.

Thanks for any suggestion!
