Default nested function to select value from 8 options

field to display in is M8. *Fields with the data a U8, AN8, BA8,
BN8, CA8, CN8, DA8, DN8.
I will be copying this formula down for the forty rows below. (M8 to
M47).

I have tried "If(and" and "if(or" but cannot get past the first 3.

I know there has to be an easier way.
thx

Hello Mel,

I'm not really clear what you want to do. What value is in M8, can you
give an example. Are you looking for a match with one of those 8
cells. If M8 = BA8 for instance then what value would you like to
return?
