Default How many concurrent nested IF statments does Excel allow?

I don't know exactly what you're doing but you need to create a table. This
table is based on your bottom formula:

0............0..........0
124.....0.45.....0.35
149.....0.55.....0.45
199.....0.7.......0.55
249.....0.9.......0.7
299.....1.05.....0.85
349.....1.25.....1
399.....1.4
499.....1.6

The 2nd column would be used when B40 and the third column would be used
when B4<=0. (at least, that's the logic of your IF formulas)

=IF(B40,VLOOKUP(H4,D1:E9,2,1),VLOOKUP(H4,D1:F7,3, 1))

Where D1:E9 is the above table.

I need about 25 to make it work. Can you suggest another way of comparing
that many numbers?

Hi!

The top formula has 7 nested levels which is the limit.

The bottom formula has 8.

How many conditions do you have in total?

This formula works:
=IF(B40,IF(H4399,1.4,IF(H4349,1.25,IF(H4299,1. 05,IF(H4249,0.9,IF(H4199,0.7,IF(H4149,0.55,
IF(H4124,0.45)))))),IF(H4349,1,IF(H4299,0.85,IF (H4249,0.7,IF(H4199,0.55,IF(H4149,0.45,IF(H412 4,0.35,0)))))))

This formula does not, why?
=IF(B40,IF(H4 449, 1.6,
IF(H4399,1.4,IF(H4349,1.25,IF(H4299,1.05,IF(H4 249,0.9,IF(H4199,0.7,IF(H4149,0.55,
IF(H4124,0.45))))))),IF(H4349,1,IF(H4299,0.85,I F(H4249,0.7,IF(H4199,0.55,IF(H4149,0.45,IF(H41 24,0.35,0)))))))
