hi guys, i need your help. im using excel for our payroll. we have
different basic rate per outlet. is "if" condition limited as to the
length of statement/condition?

here's the formula that i cannot resolve since the excel cannot accept
it. what should be the formula when making long condition? please
revise my formula. many thanks!

MLA
binan

please make your formula by your own, I put an example

=LOOKUP(A12,{"MLA","binan","iloilo"},{357.5,304.7, 230})
apply this short formula and see the result and increase values in
accordingly.

Directly

=LOOKUP(A12,{"MLA","binan","iloilo","davao","cebu" ,"cdo","pam","baguio","MLA
_TL","BINAN_TL","ILOILO_TL","DAVAO_TL","CEBU_TL"," CDO_TL","PAM_TL","BAGUIO_T
L"},
{357.5,304.7,230,246.4,255.2,239.8,300,300,401.5,4 01.5,308,308,308,308,401.5
,401.5})

but it would be better to put the two arrays, the text and the numbers, into
separate ranges, say M1:M16 and N1:N16 and use these

=LOOKUP(A12,M1:M16,N1:N16)

it will be more maintainable

thanks a lot guys.

i copied the formula you have given, but some values are not displayed
as what is stated in the formula. like for example, in MLA, the amount
is not 357.50 and i still have some #N/A error. thanks!
