Default How do you use more than 7 arguments in a logical IF?

Thank you for the reference to lookup. I was able to research that and have
made it work. I really appreciate your response.

I have 10 items in cell K14. I want to be able to extend the logic to 10
but Excel has a limit of 7 nested if's. I am not familiar with lookup tables
but will look into that.
Thank you

Bill

Can you post an example of your formula with nested IFs and point out
how you want to extend it?

Often a lookup table can reduce a multiple-IF formula, but it depends
on exactly what you want to do.

I am able to utilize a logical IF to automatically select the data I want to
show in a cell based on the result of the logical IF statement. My problem
is that I want to exceed the apparent limit of 7 nested IF's. The result
must show up in a speciofic cell.
I could utilize several cells (on a different worksheet) to all reference
the data in a specific cell and then use a seperate cell to query the result
of the cells but that is where I get confused.
