Default Too many arguments for nested IFs

You might also want to change your NOT(C2="MP") to the simpler C2<"MP"
which is less typing and easier to understand.

I've created a nested IF statement that works fine using 6 IFs but does
not
work when I add a 7th, the maximum number allowed. However, I ultimately
need 10. Does someone know of an alternative way of doing this? The
formula
looks like this:

=IF(AND(LEFT(A2,2)="10",NOT(C2="MP")),"Change Sector to
MP",IF(AND(LEFT(A2,2)="20",NOT(C2="BV")),"Change Sector to
BV",IF(AND(LEFT(A2,2)="30",NOT(C2="HH")),"Change Sector to
HH",IF(AND(LEFT(A2,2)="40",NOT(C2="AP")),"Change Sector to
AP",IF(AND(LEFT(A2,2)="50",NOT(C2="CM")),"Change Sector to
CM",IF(AND(LEFT(A2,2)="60",NOT(C2="RS")),"Change Sector to RS",""))))))
