Troubleshooting my IF formula
 

My formula below is working perfectly...EXCEPT, I want to add one more IF to
the end, I want to add IF(C17="12x", 6%,""....but it won't let me add this.
Am I limited to the number of IF's in one formula? Also - can I use just the
number 1, rather than 1x, 2x, 3x...? When I use just the 1, 2 or 3 by itself
it gives me a blank. I just can't figure it out - I greately appreciate your
help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

=IF(C17="1x",0%,IF(C17="2x",0%,IF(C17="3x",0%,IF(C 17="4x",2%,IF(C17="6x",4%,IF(C17="9x",6%,IF(C17="1 0x",6%,IF(C17="11x",6%,""))))))))

Thanks, can you recommend a different type of formula that I should learn if
I need to use more than 7 if's in a single formula?

Troubleshooting my IF formula
 

You are limited to 7 IF Statements nested together in a single cell.

You are returning the same results for 1x, 2x and 3x (0%). Also, 9x, 10x,
11x, 12x (6%). You can combine these in an OR function:

=IF(OR(C17={"1x","2x","3x"}),0%,IF(C17="4x",2%,IF( C17="6x",4%,IF(OR(C17={"9x","10x","11x","12x"}),6% ,""))))

If you want to use just 1, 2, 3... instead of 1x, 2x, 3x... make sure that
C17 contains just those numbers, then change your formula accordingly.

Kim,
Take a look at the VLOOKUP function.

Troubleshooting my IF formula
 

When you use just 1, 2, or 3 by itself in C17, is your formula C17="1" or
C17=1 ? You should use C17=1 because 1, 2, and 3 are numbers. C17="1" would
only work when you preformat C17 to text before entering the number, or if
you typed '1 (apostrophe before 1) in C17.
