Default Need help with Excel formula

if(or(H26=3,H26=4,H26=6,H26=18,H26=24),1,if(or(H26 =7,H26=10,H26=13,H26=20,H26=56),2................. .......

Another method might be to set up a table and do a VLOOKUP against the table.

How do I create a formula that will return a number 1-10 depending on data
entered ranging from 1-57. Example. I have 10 fire districts. Each district
has about 5 Fire Stations in no particular order. If I put in fire station
number 10 then the fire district 2 will auto fill-in. Here is my formula
that i am trying to build but it's limited to a certain number I think 8.
=IF(H26=3,1,IF(H26=4,1,IF(H26=6,1,IF(H26=18,1,IF(H 26=24,1,IF(H26=7,2,IF(H26=10,2,IF(H26=20,2,0)))))) ))

Can I group numbers together in the formula such as
Fire Stations
3, 4, 6, 18, or 24 = 1
7, 10, 13, 20 or 56 =2
8, 11, 17, 19 or 44 = 3
..... = 4
..... = 5
..... = 6
..... = 7
..... = 8
..... = 9
..... = 10

Thanks very much!
