I need to evaluate the contents of three cells and return one of 8
choices in a fourth cell. The contents of the cells to be evaluated are
numbers and are compared to a given number as either "<" or "=".
The choices to return are 1a thru 1d or 2a thru 2d.

R HR % D
5 8 8 1a etc.

I have nested IF and AND functions, but can't figure out how to get past
the 7 nested functions limitation.

Instead of using nested IF's replace them with boolean statements which if
tru resolve to 1 and if false resolve to 0.
So (Calculation1*Condition1) + (Calculation2*condition2) + etc.
This can thus do away with the 7 condition limit.

The formula works for 7 of the sets of conditions, but not the 8th.

The criteria a
1a - high R, high HR, high %
1b - high R, high HR, low %
1c - high R, low HR, high %
1d - high R, low HR, low %
2a - low R, high HR, high %
2b - low R, high HR, low %
2c - low R, low HR, high %
2d - low R, low HR, low %

Thanks in advance for any thoughts or suggestions.
