Default IF/THEN Formula

You are trying to nest a number of IF statements, so you need to think about
the placing of the parentheses and of your list separators. Excel help will
tell you about the syntax of an IF statement, and about nesting functions.

=IF(E22=0,0,IF(E22=1,$G$9,IF(E22=2,$G$10,IF(E22=3, $G$11,"answer
undefined"))))

Another option is to use VLOOKUP, which again is described in Excel help.

It
looks the same to Excel. Also, showing us what you tried will always
result
in better advice, as we have a better idea of what you are trying to do.

As a guess, see if this helps:
=if(or(a1=1,a1=2,a1=3,a1=4),a2,"none of the values found")

Hi!

[quoted text clipped - 6 lines]

Any suggestions or tips would be appreciated. Thanks!



Here's the formula:

=IF(E22=0,0):IF(E22=1,$G$9):IF(E22=2,$G$10):IF(E22 =3,$G$11)

Where e22 is the number 0, 1, 2, or 3.
So if a 0 is in e22, put in 0
If a 1 is in e22, put in the number from cell G9
If a 2 is in e22, put in the number from cell g10
If a 3 is in e22, put in the number from cell g11

Cells G9, G10 and G11 were originally the sum of another cell, that was
calculated with a formula. I changed this to paste the value of the
formula
instead of the sum, but it didn't seem to help.

Thanks for your assistance!
