Default How do I use VLOOKUP to nest more then 7 IF statements?

Index / match tends to work better...
In A1:B11 add
0 0.7
50 0.9
90 1
110 1.2
130 1.4
140 1.5
150 1.6
170 1.7
210 1.8
250 1.9
300 2

Now use the formula (In cell E1 or ???)
=INDEX($B$1:$B$11, MATCH(D1, $A$1:$A$11, TRUE))

Where you put the amount in Cell D1

HTH...

Hello,

I have 12 different values I would like to return based on a range of
numbers. Right now, I have it set up to display the 7 most common of them
through nested if statements via this formula:

=IF(E5=250,"1.9",IF(E5=210,"1.8",IF(E5=170,"1.7 ",IF(E5=150,"1.6",IF(E5=140,"1.5",IF(E5=130,"1. 4",IF(E5=120,1.2,1)))))))

How can I include the missing values using a different function? I had read
to use either an index or lookup function, but don't know how to apply these.

The missing ranges and values I am trying to add are 0-49:0.70, 50-89:0.90,
90-109:1.00, 250-299:1.90, =300:2.00.

Any assistance would be highly appreciated.

thanks!
Yoshi
