Usually, I use a separate table of info on a different sheet.
Then I use =vlookup() to return what I want. But it depends on what you're doing. You may want to read Debra Dalgleish's notes: http://www.contextures.com/xlFunctions02.html (for =vlookup()) and http://www.contextures.com/xlFunctions03.html (for =index(match())) Kathy wrote: What do you do if you have a formula you need to enter that is more than 9 "IF" statements!!!!

Ok here is more info:
We are doing a rating schedule at work for our loans. I am trying to put together a very nice looking presentation that will ask numerous questions and return ratings. It will give you a number of questions, each one where you can pick the answer from a drop-down list. When you pick your answer frpm the list it returns a rating number. At the end of the document it will calculate all the ratings, comparing it to other situations, and then giving you a final rate of loan. So I need IF satatements to return values back. It will only allow less than 9 if statements, I would need more. "Kathy" wrote: What do you do if you have a formula you need to enter that is more than 9 "IF" statements!!!!

Without more information it is difficult to say. But most (99%?) of the time, a VLOOKUP function is much more manageable, extensible and supportable. --ron |
