Default nested if functions in Excel 2002

Ok, here goes:

column F is the weight of each object. column h is the specific gravity of
each object.

In columns I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P, I want the weight of the object to be in the
column in which it's specific gravity falls.

here is the formula for each column (row 3 only)

Col (range) formula
I (<1.070)
=IF(H31.1,0,IF(H31.095,0,IF(H31.09,0,IF(H31.08 5,0,IF(H31.08,0,IF(H31.075,0,IF(H31.07,0,F3)))) )))

J (1.070-1.075)
=IF(H31.1,0,IF(H31.095,0,IF(H31.09,0,IF(H31.08 5,0,IF(H31.08,0,IF(H31.075,0,IF(H31.07,F3,0)))) )))

K (1.075-1.080)
=IF(H31.1,0,IF(H31.095,0,IF(H31.09,0,IF(H31.08 5,0,IF(H31.08,0,IF(H31.075,F3,IF(H31.07,0,0)))) )))

L (1.080-1.085)
=IF(H31.1,0,IF(H31.095,0,IF(H31.09,0,IF(H31.08 5,0,IF(H31.08,F3,IF(H31.075,0,IF(H31.07,0,0)))) )))

M (1.085-1.090)
=IF(H31.1,0,IF(H31.095,0,IF(H31.09,0,IF(H31.08 5,F3,IF(H31.08,0,IF(H31.075,0,IF(H31.07,0,0)))) )))

N (1.090-1.095)
=IF(H31.1,0,IF(H31.095,0,IF(H31.09,F3,IF(H31.0 85,0,IF(H31.08,0,IF(H31.075,0,IF(H31.07,0,0)))) )))

O (1.095-1.100)
=IF(H31.1,0,IF(H31.095,F3,IF(H31.09,0,IF(H31.0 85,0,IF(H31.08,0,IF(H31.075,0,IF(H31.07,0,0)))) )))

P (1.100)
=IF(H31.1,F3,IF(H31.095,0,IF(H31.09,0,IF(H31.0 85,0,IF(H31.08,0,IF(H31.075,0,IF(H31.07,0,0)))) )))

This worked great, but now I want to add 4 more categories (ie, change the
1.100 category to (1.105-1.110) and also add (1.110-1.115) , (1.115-1.120)

, and (1.120).


For example,

=IF(H31.12,F3,IF(H31.115,0,IF(H31.110,0,IF(H31 .105,0,IF(H31.1,0,IF(H31.095,0,IF(H31.09,0,IF(H 31.085,0,IF(H31.08,0,IF(H31.075,0,IF(H31.07,0, 0))))))))))

This is of course too many nested ifs.

is there a way to use vlookup or index or match? Or am I better with split
nesting?

Probably any number of things. However, to give you a specific alternative
requires that you state clearly what you are trying to accomplish

I need to nest 10 IF functions.

According to Excel help:

Up to seven IF functions can be nested as value_if_true and value_if_false
arguments to construct more elaborate tests. See the last of the following
examples.

What else can I do?
