Default Is there a limit to number of successive IF-THEN statements?

I am listing a number of deliverables, and want the deadlines for those
deliverables to automatically appear in the next column (I have the deadlines
on a tab named "Lists"). Unless I am misunderstanding something, there is a
limit of 7 successive IF-THEN statements you can use. Here is my IF-THEN
formula:

=IF(E4="User Guide",'Lists'!D4,IF(E4="Installation",'Lists'!D5, IF(E4="HW
Upgrade",'Lists'!D3,IF(E4="Maintenance",'Lists'!D6 ,IF(E4="RAS
Trouble",'Lists'!D3,IF(E4="Online Help",'Lists'!D2,IF(E4="Site
Prep",'Lists'!D7,IF(E4="Inventry Sheet",'Lists'!D10,IF(E4="SW
Upgrade",'Lists'!D9,IF(E4="Release Notes","",IF(E4="Many or
All","",IF(E4="Other or N/A","",""))))))))))))

Excel will not let me use the formula because it has issues with the 8th
IF-THEN statement. My guess is that Excel can only handle 7. Does anyone
know the limit you can use? I have 12 different values that have different
deadlines. Thanks!
