I need to nest about 13 IF functions in one formula, can I do this?

If you don't have Excel 2007, you can't. If you do have Excel 2007, you
shouldn't.

Tell us what you are trying to do, in words, there is bound to be a better
way.

Are you trying to use this to catagorize a data set or summarize by several
criteria? As far as I know, you can't nest more than 7 IF statements.

Essentially I have a row of 13 dollar figures that I need to do a formula
that says =if(k1=a1,a2,if(k1=b1,b2,if(k1=c1,c2... Is there another way to do
that?

HI Bob, essentially I have a row of 13 dollar figures, and my formula goes
like this... =if(k1=a1,a2,if(k1=b1,b2,if(k1=c1,c2,... Another way to do
that where I don't nest 13 IF's?? Thanks

Look in the help index for VLOOKUP

I'd set up a VLOOKUP table that has your 13 values in one column (A) and the
corresponding values in the next column (B). I tend to group all of these on
a separate worksheet called LOOKUP values. This also let's you add more
values later. Assuming the first value you want to look up is in cell A1,
then your formula will look like this:

=VLOOKUP(A1,LOOKUP VALUES!A:B, 2, FALSE)

Look at the HLookup formula. using the range A1..J2 it will find a value in
row 1 and return the value from the same col in row 2.

I understand that there must be a better way, but I'm not sure how. I'll
explain to you what I'm trying to do, please let me know if you can help.

I have worksheet 1 where I enter 9 rows of data, 4 columns of info.
This data is translated into worksheet 2, which prioritizes the 9 rows based
on the 4 column criteria.
Now I'm on worksheet 3. I would like to pull the data from worksheet 2,
after it's been prioritized and relist in on worksheet 3 in order of
importance 1 through 9.

But I can only nest 7 IF's, not 9. So IF any of worksheet 2 cells a1-a9
have a "1" in it, enter the corresponding worksheet-2, column-B data into
Worksheet 3's B1 cell.

Is this clear? Please let me know if you can help. Thanks!
