Default what can I do if I need to nest more than 7 formulas?

Just the thing for VLOOKUP.
Read Help; buy a book; experiment; come back when you have tried

Basically using it to fill in info from another sheet. Ex:
IF(b9=customer1,customer1 address,IF(b9=customer2,customer2
address.....etc.

I don't really get how VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP work.

You need to use the VLOOKUP() function, or perhaps the HLOOKUP()
function.

You're not specific about how you are using the IF()s, but one of the
lookup
variants should give you what you want.

You might also explore MATCH() and INDEX()

I have a spreadsheet to keep track of sales tax information. I have a

several columns to fill in automatically with the customer's address

other information. I did fine with a nested IF formula until I reached

limit of 7. We have more than 7 customers who we charge sales tax, and

to hit them all somehow
