Interesting workaround. Practically speaking 15 nested functions would be
extremely difficult to follow and manage. A VLOOKUP would be more easily
managed and understood.

7 nested If's is the max, however if you create a formula with 7 If's and
name that formula something like "IF1", then create another 7 IF formula
and
name it "IF2", you now have 2 7IF formulas you can put into another IF
formula such as IF(IF1,IF2,0). Excel now considers each named formula to
be
only 1 argument.

In such cases it's usually best to create a datalist and incorporate one
of
the lookup functions into your formula.

Post back with the details and I'm sure you'll receive suggestions.
