Create this 3 column table:

...........H.............I................J
1.......................Y..............N
2........0........0.0196......0.0196
3........1........0.0273......0.0196
4........2........0.0554......0.04
5......10........0.0766......0.0612
6......20........0.0987......0.0833

Then:

=IF(OR(A3="",E3=""),"",VLOOKUP(E3,H2:J6,MATCH(A3,H 1:J1,0)))

I've studied other nested IF posts and can't figure out how to use Vlookup
or
a named range on sheet2 to solve my problem. I've accomplished the task
but
very clumsily. There are 8 nested IFs so have to use two cells because of
the
7 limit.

The spreadsheet is to determine the vacation factor for each employee
based
on full time or part time status and years of service.

A3= "N" or "Y" (Full time? yes or no)
E3= years of service
F3: IF(L3,L3,M3) (this is the factor column)
L3:
=IF(AND(A3="N",E30,E3<2),0.0196,
IF(AND(A3="N",E31.9999,E3<10),0.04,
IF(AND(A3="N",E39.9999,E3<20),0.0612,
IF(AND(A3="N",E320),0.0833,M3))))
M3:
=IF(AND(A3="Y",E30,E3<1),0.0196,
IF(AND(A3="Y",E30.9999,E3<2),0.0273,
IF(AND(A3="Y",E31.9999,E3<10),0.0554,
IF(AND(A3="Y",E39.9999,E3<20),0.0766,0.0987))))
