Nested IF statements
A cell in Excel contains 8 or 9 IF statements. The cell is returning #VALUE error; meaning there is a flaw in the formula. Is there a way to determine which part of the formula is being caculated without having to go through each IF statement one-by-one? I hope my question is clear. Any help would be great. Thanks. -- maacmaac ------------------------------------------------------------------------ maacmaac's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=2959 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=504192 |

Nested IF statements
If you're using xl2002+, you can use:
Tools|formula auditing|evaluate formula In earlier versions, you can select portions of the formula in the formula bar and hit f9 to see how that portion evaluates. Hit escape to reset the formula back to what it was--or ctrl-z to just reset that portion of the formula. maacmaac wrote: A cell in Excel contains 8 or 9 IF statements.

Nested IF statements
I believe you'll also find that Excel permits nesting up to a maximum of 7
levels deep (not 8 or 9).
