Hi!

What do you mean by "is not allowed" ?

It works for me:

=IF(Survey!E8="Agree",1,IF(Survey!E8="Somewhat
Agree",2,IF(Survey!E8="Somewhat
Disagree",3,IF(Survey!E8="Disagree",4,IF(Survey!E8 ="Not Aplicable",0,"")))))

Some alternatives:

=VLOOKUP(Survey!E8,{"Agree",1;"Somewhat Agree",2;"Somewhat
Disagree",3;"Disagree",4;"Not Aplicable",0},2,0)

=IF(Survey!E8="Not Aplicable",0,MATCH(Survey!E8,{"Agree","Somewhat
Agree","Somewhat Disagree","Disagree"},0))

Check your spelling on "Aplicable"!

I want to check a cell for one of five responses from a deeop down list.
The
if works fine for up to four but the fifth is not allowed. Below is the
formula that works. belo0w that is the fifth condition I want to check
for.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

=IF(Survey!E8:E8="Agree","1",IF(Survey!E8:E8="Some what
Agree","2",IF(Survey!E8:E8="Somewhat
Disagree","3",IF(Survey!E8:E8="Disagree","4"))))


IF(Survey!E8:E8="Not Aplicable","0")
