Hi

What are you trying to achieve?
The maximum level of nesting in XL2003 and earlier if 7, but has been
increased to 256 in XL2007.
This limit can be overcome for IF statements, by concatenating as many
sets of 7 IF's with the "&" operator.
=(first set of 7)&(second set of 7)&(third set of 7) etc.

However, using even 7 levels of IF can become very unwieldy and
difficult to maintain, and there are usually better solutions available
using LOOKUP, VLOOKUP, CHOOSE etc.

Post details of what you are trying to achieve, and someone will be able
to propose an alternative solution for you.
