Hi Bob!

And I was shocked and stunned to find that it worked <vbg

I agree, but I didn't go down that path because I wanted to espouse
the
CHOOSE option , which I think is better.

I believe you can simplify this even more. You do not need the
AND
statements at all since the previous IF would have dealt with it
if the
lower value in the AND was releveant, hence:

=IF(B26<=0,0%,IF(B26<=4,5%,IF(B26<=14,25%,IF(B26<= 24),50%,75%))))

should work (assuming B26 is always numeric).

Hi Vasen,

Your formula has a lot of oddities and can be corrected and
simplified
with




=IF(B26<=0,0%,IF(AND(B260,B26<=4),5%,IF(AND(B264 ,B26<=14),25%,IF(AND
(B261
4,B26<=24),50%,75%))))

Firstly, you don't test and AND condition like B26=1<=4 but as
AND(B260,B26<=4)
The, percentage is a value so you don't need it within quotes,
just
format
the cell as percentage to see 5% rather than 0.05
You don't test for values between 0 and 1 (and others), so I
assume this
means that it can on ly be whole numbers, so tests like
IF(B26<=0,0%,IF(AND(B26=1,B26<=4 are better covered by
IF(B26<=0,0%,IF(AND(B260,B26<=4 to catch all instances and to
make more
readable

Because it seems to work only on whole numbers you could also
use CHOOSE

=IF(B264,75%,CHOOSE(B26+1,0%,5%,25%,50%))

hi

Please could someone advise what is wrong with this formula:





=IF(B26<=0,"0%",IF(B26=1<=4,"5%",IF(B26<=4,"5%",I F(B26=5<=14,"25%",I
F(B26<

=14,"25%",IF(B26=15<=24,"50%",IF(B26<=24,"50%",IF (B26=25,"75%"))))))
))


The problem is if B26<0 it works...but if B26=0 it evaluates
to 5% not
to 0% as it should according to the formula.


Thanks
Vasen
