Default Formula to another forumula?

We would like to have a formula that will calculate differently based on
Tenure of our staff. Column B will hold the Tenure. So say cell B5 equals 6
or greater,
then

=IF(C5=17.5%,5,IF(C5=16.25%,4,IF(C5=14.25%,3,IF (C5=13%,2,IF(C5=0,1,"N/A")))))

and if B5 equals 5 then

=IF(C5=16.5%,5,IF(C5=15.25%,4,IF(C5=13.25%,3,IF (C5=12%,2,IF(C5=0,1,"N/A")))))

and so on down to B5 equaling down to 1 or less.

How do I do this? Forgive me for being kind of a hack.

Max had tried to help earlier but had a part of the formula I didn't
understand.

Thank you

David, correct me if I am wrong, but that appears to be adding the fields
together. What I would like to do is have one set of ratings for someone with
one month or less, another for someone at 2 months, until we get to 6 months
where everyone more than 6 months is rated the same.

Default Formula to another forumula?

Adding which fields together?

Have you tried my formula and compared it with what you wanted? If so, and
if you get a different result from what you expected, then please explain
what numbers you had as your inputs, what you got as the result from my
formula, and what you expected from your formula?

If you don't understand my formula, break it down to manageable chunks and
look at what each part does and compare it with what you asked for.

David,

Using that formula I have a banker with a 8.25% with 2 months tenure being
rated a 3 when they should be a one. It is totally my fault.

Let me give you exact figures.

Month One: 11.5% or higher = 5, 10.25%-11.49% = 4, 8.25%-10.24% = 3,
7.0%-8.24%=2, 6.99% = 1

Month Two: 13.5% or higher = 5, 12.25%-13.49% = 4, 10.25%-12.24% = 3,
9.0%-10.24%=2, 8.99% = 1

Month Three: 15.5% or higher = 5, 14.25%-15.49% = 4, 12.25%-14.24% = 3,
11%-12.24% = 2, 10.99% = 1.

Month four and above for this one: 17.5% or higher = 5, 16.25%-17.49% = 4,
14.25%-16.24% = 3, 13%-14.24% = 2, 12.99%=1

I appreciate your assistance.

My formula gives a result of 1 for your input figures of 8.25% and 2. If
you've got a result of 3, then you've not got the formula right. Did you
copy and paste, or did you try to retype? Are you sure that you didn't have
a problem with the line break in the newsgroup message? If you want to copy
your formula back here, then I can look to see what you got wrong if you
can't spot it yourself.

I haven't changed the formula to tie in with your latest figures, as I
assume that you don't really have gaps (with undefined output) between
17.49% and 17.5%, or between 16.24% and 16.25%, or between 14.24% and
14.25%, and so on. I assume that your original specification was correct
where you'd defined the conditions as =17.5%, =16.25%, and so on?
