Who could say? Show us your data, then we can provide you with an Excel
formula. You might find that IF is not involved, at all, in Excel. With a
data input example and a resultant answer, we can help.

I am converting a budget spreadsheet from Lotus 1-2-3 to Excel. Excel's
limit on nested IF statements is creating my biggest challenge. I have
budget and actual columns next to one another for each month. A Lotus
formula reads from a cell identifying the current month that requires 12
if
statements. [i.e. (If month = January, add one column, if february add
two
columns, ...if December add 12 columns.)] What is my Excel alternative to
nested if's in this situation?
