Default IF Dilema

Thanks Ron, I tried your formula and received a value error. In the
parameters of the first note is is described showing 5 IF statements:
This formula is in B1.

A cell (b1) is a cell that reacts If t2 is less than 7.4 and DG192 equals 1
and if so, is then populatated with the contents of c3. It continues with
the same if statement except now if DG192 equals 2 it is then populatated
with the contents of c4 and so on until you reach DG192 possibly equaling 5
and populating with c7. The problem is that b1 must also react if t2 is
greater than 7.4 and if so it must look at DG193 instead of DG192 and check
if it is equal to 1,2,3,4 or 5 and if it is, place the contents of either c3,
c4, c5, c6, or c7.
The contents of the cells c1 thru c7 carry FeetPerSecond calculations that
are formulated differently and are done so also by what distance t2 indicates.

The controlling cell is t2 whether or not it is greater or less than 7.4 as
the formula for the FeetPerSecond change once the distance passes 7.5 or is
less than 7.

All said and done, if it were possible to add 5 more IF statements referring
to DG193 and the 5 possiblities of content, I could do it, but my apologies,
that is about my level of skill and am having trouble getting past that.
Appreciate any input, , ,

My dilema is that in the same statement you read below, I have to also ask
also if T27.4 and dg193=1,2,3,4,or 5, but that would be too many IF
statements. Any ideas on how to reduce this statement?


=IF(AND(DG192=1,T2<7.5),C3,IF(AND(DG192=2,T2<7.5) ,C4,IF(AND(DG192=3,T2<7.5),C5,IF(AND(DG192=4,T2<7. 5),C6,IF(AND(DG192=5,T2<7.5),C7)))))



There are a number of different ways of solving this problem. They vary in
complexity depending on the complexity you require.

Here's one way, given your parameters:

=IF(T2<7.5,CHOOSE(DG192,C3,C4,C5,C6,C7),
CHOOSE(DG192,D3,D4,D5,D6,D7))

You could also set up lookup tables.
