Default Failing with formula

Note that Lee's formula will give "Outside Range" for a B8 value of 5000, or
of 5001, or of any value between 5000 and 5001. You may wish to think
carefully about how you define your limits.
Some of the alternative methods suggested may be better.

Hey Charlie

You could do something like this:

=IF(AND(B81,B8<5001),1,IF(AND(B85000,B8<10001),2 ,"Outside Range"))

This has one IF statement nested within another to handle your two listed
requirements, and if over 10000 then will display text 'Outside Range'.
Nest
further IF statements if you need to.

Regards,

Lee

You are limited to 7 nested IF statements, not sure if this is still the
case in the latest Excel version, so if you need to go beyond 7 levels of
checking then another approach is probably needed.

Hi,

I need to create a formula the will give the following results:
IF B8 is between 1 and 5000 the result is 1, if B8 is between 5001 and
10000
the result is 2 and so on.

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Charlie
