Hello!

1 Suppose A1 has date in format dd-mm-yy , say 12-DEC-09. How can I have
extract only DEC from A1?

2 I get stucked whenever there is more than eight IF in the neseted IF
statement. Cannot we have more than 8 IF?

Please help me out.

Thanking you.

=MONTH(A1).

1. To maintain in excel date format format the date field to MMM
(FormatCellsCustomType mmm)

OR use the below formula which will be in text format

=IF(A1,UPPER(TEXT(A1,"mmm")),"")

2. It is more than 7 and not 8. Post your scenario and there should be some
other way to acheive what you want

You can go to Format Cells, from "Number" tab select "Custom", in "Type"
filed type mmm or mm (as you prefer) and press OK.

Wouldn't that return the answer 12, rather than DEC?

Hi Deepak,

1. as regards your first part of the post, u can use the following :
=TEXT(a1,"mmmm")

2. as regards your second part of the post, u can use something like
this :
=IF(A1=1,1.3%,"")&IF(A1=2,3%,"")&IF(A1=4,6.5%,"")& IF(A1=5,2.2%,"")&IF(A1=6,4.4%,"")&IF(A1=9,7%,"")&I F(A1=10,7.5%,"")&IF(A1=11,8.8%,"")&IF(A1=3,3.5%,"" )&IF(A1=12,4.9%,"")&IF(A1=13,1%,"")&IF(A1=7,1.6%," ")&IF(A1=8,6.25%,"")

click yes below, if it helps

2 I get stucked whenever there is more than
eight IF in the neseted IF

2. It is more than 7 and not 8.

Then why does this work?

=IF(A1=1,1,IF(A1=2,2,IF(A1=3,3,IF(A1=4,4,IF(A1=5,5 ,IF(A1=6,6,IF(A1=7,7,IF(A1=8,8,"none"))))))))

There are 8 IF calls.

The first IF *is not a nested level*. Each subsequent IF is a nested level
for a total of 7 nested levels.

You can use concatenation for *many* IFs but there is usually a better way:

=IF(A1=1,1,"")&IF(A1=2,2,"")&IF(A1=3,3,"")&IF(A1=4 ,4,"")&IF(A1=5,5,"")&IF(A1=6,6,"")&IF(A1=7,7,"")&I F(A1=8,8,"")&IF(A1=9,9,"")&IF(A1=10,10,"")&IF(A1=1 1,11,"")&IF(A1=12,12,"")&IF(A1=13,13,"")&IF(A1=14, 14,"")&IF(A1=15,15,"")

Using this technique you're only limited to the max allowable length of a
formula.
