Default Nesting Eroor - more than 64

You can avoid the nesting errors by constructing your formula
something like this:

=
IF(AND(G60,I6=0,$m6=0),"n/r","")&
IF(and(G6=0,i6=0,$m60),0,"")&
IF(and(G6=0,i60,$m6=0),"-0.0","")&
if(and(g6<i6,$m6=0),-1,"")&
IF(G6-I6<$Q6,(G6-I6)/$Q6,"")&

and so on. Note that each IF is independent of the others, and the
results get concatenated together.

I've removed a couple of conditions so far which didn't seem to be
doing anything. It's a pity that some of your returns are text ("n/r"
and "-0.0") because this approach will return a text value which can
be converted to a number by multiplying by 1 or adding zero.

Anyway, hopefully this gets you a bit closer.

Hope this helps.

Good afternoon,

I have this long formula made of "If's" and got an error for too many
nesting. I have tried to find in library similar problems and could not
exactly find same issue. Could somebody help?

Here it is...

=IF(and(g6=0,i6=0,$m6=0),"",
IF(AND(G60,I6=0,$m6=0),"n/r",
IF(and(G6=0,i6=0,$m60),0,
IF(and(G6=0,i60,$m6=0),"-0.0",
if(AND((G6=i6,$m6=0),"",
if(and(g6<i6,$m6=0),-1,
IF(G6-I6<$Q6,(G6-I6)/$Q6,
IF((G6-I6<$Q6+$R6),1+((G6-I6-$Q6)/$R6),
IF(G6-I6<($Q6+$R6+$S6),2+((G6-I6-$Q6-$R6)/$S6),
IF(G6-I6<($Q6+$R6+$S6+$T6),3+((G6-I6-$Q6-$R6-$S6)/$T6),
IF(G6-I6<($Q6+$R6+$S6+$T6+(4*$V6)),4+((G6-I6-$Q6-$R6-$S6-$T6)/(4*$V6)),(G6-*I6)/$M6))))))))))))
