Default Nested IF too long - other suggestions?

try this

Put this formula in P1 =IF(R1<"",INDIRECT(S1),"")

and use helping column S , In S1 put this formula ="Q"&R1

Our timesheet template asks for the Employee name in a pop-up dialog box. The
result assigns a number to a cell. That result assigns the employee name,
title, and employment status to different cells in the sheet using nested IF
formulas. For some reason I cannot add a 10th, 11th, etc level to the nest
even though Help says 64 levels are possible.

=IF(R1=1,Q1,IF(R1=2,Q2,IF(R1=3,Q3,IF(R1=4,Q4,IF(R1 =5,Q5,IF(R1=6,Q6,IF(R1=7,*Q7,IF(R1=8,Q8,Q9))))))))

Any suggestions? Can I use LOOKUP? If so how? Or is there something else??
Thanks!!!
