Too many arguments for nested IFs
Ive created a nested IF statement that works fine using 6 IFs but does not
work when I add a 7th, the maximum number allowed. However, I ultimately need 10. Does someone know of an alternative way of doing this? The formula looks like this: =IF(AND(LEFT(A2,2)="10",NOT(C2="MP")),"Change Sector to MP",IF(AND(LEFT(A2,2)="20",NOT(C2="BV")),"Change Sector to BV",IF(AND(LEFT(A2,2)="30",NOT(C2="HH")),"Change Sector to HH",IF(AND(LEFT(A2,2)="40",NOT(C2="AP")),"Change Sector to AP",IF(AND(LEFT(A2,2)="50",NOT(C2="CM")),"Change Sector to CM",IF(AND(LEFT(A2,2)="60",NOT(C2="RS")),"Change Sector to RS","")))))) |

Ooops!
Disregard that formula. I tested using only numbers in cell A2. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "T. Valko" wrote in message ...

Too many arguments for nested IFs
You might also want to change your NOT(C2="MP") to the simpler C2<"MP"
which is less typing and easier to understand. Tyro "Marie FP" <Marie wrote in message ...

Too many arguments for nested IFs
Assuming that cell A2 will *only* contain entries that start with 10, 20,
30, 40, 50 or 60: 2 column lookup table in the range F1:G6 10...MP 20...BV 30...HH 40...AP 50...CM 60...RS Then: =IF(A2="","",IF(C2=VLOOKUP(--LEFT(A2,2),F1:G6,2,0),"","Change Sector To "&VLOOKUP(--LEFT(A2,2),F1:G6,2,0))) If that doesn't work then you'll need to tell us exactly what the possible entries are for cell A2. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "T.
