IF statement too long
I have a cell with the following:
=IF(ISBLANK($F$5)," ",IF(F6<2," ",IF(F5=2000,'(4)Commercial Savings'!D16,IF(F5=2001,'(4)Commercial Savings'!D21,IF(F5=2002,'(4)Commercial Savings'!D26,IF($F$5=2003,'(4)Commercial Savings'!D31,IF($F$5=2004,'(4)Commercial Savings'!D36,IF($F$5=2005,'(4)Commercial Savings'!D41)))))))) I am trying to add another if for the year 2006, but I get an error, I think there is a limit to the number of IF's if so, how do I program this? Thanks, -- KSH |

Hi!
You can combine: =IF(ISBLANK($F$5)," ",IF(F6<2," ",........ Into: =IF(AND(F5="",F6<2),"",................ That'll allow you to add 1 more nested IF for 2006. However, your best bet would be to create a table and do a lookup. Biff "KSH" wrote in message ...

Correction:
You can combine: =IF(ISBLANK($F$5)," ",IF(F6<2," ",........ Into: =IF(AND(F5="",F6<2),"",................ Make that: =IF(OR(F5="",F6<2),"",................ Biff "Biff" wrote in message ... Hi!

Biff,
Thanks that will do the trick. -- KSH "Biff" wrote: Correction: You can combine: =IF(ISBLANK($F$5)," ",IF(F6<2," ",........ Into: =IF(AND(F5="",F6<2),"",................

Hi
You could use a single IF statement and use the fact that you are incrementing the cell row number by 5 for each additional year. =IF(OR(ISBLANK($F$5),F6<2),"",INDIRECT("'(4) Commercial Savings'!D"&(16+5*RIGHT(F5,2))) That will see you through to the end of the century<g Regards Roger Govier KSH wrote: I have a cell with the following: =IF(ISBLANK($F$5)," ",IF(F6<2," ",IF(F5=2000,'(4)Commercial Savings'!D16,IF(F5=2001,'(4)Commercial Savings'!D21,IF(F5=2002,'(4)Commercial Savings'!D26,IF($F$5=2003,'(4)Commercial Savings'!D31,IF($F$5=2004,'(4)Commercial Savings'!D36,IF($F$5=2005,'(4)Commercial Savings'!D41)))))))) I am trying to add another if for the year 2006, but I get an error, I think there is a limit to the number of IF's if so, how do I program this?

The first increment is 10 and the others are 5.
Although you could shorten the original formula considerably by using a separate IF for the first increment, I would still use a lookup. Biff "Roger Govier" wrote in message ...
