Default 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.

Maximum number of "IF" statements is 7.

You can get around that limitation. The following webpage shows how
using defined names.

What's your formula?

Often if you're using multiple IFs there's a cleaner way with a LOOKUP
function or similar
