how do i use IF ELSE IF FUNCTION in excel to chk more condition
 

There are a variety of options, some in Excel Worksheet formulas and some in
VBA. The easiest is the Worksheet function CHOOSE, e.g:
=CHOOSE(A1,B23,C24,D25)
would display B23 if A1 equals 1, C24 if A1 is 2, or D25 if A1=3 (you could
extend this to allow for your 5 choices). But this only works if you have
consecutive integers to choose from (or can somehow develop a formula to
generate the integer values).

In VBA, There is also a Choose() function that works similarly. There is
also Switch() which allows several unrelated conditions, e.g.:

Result = Switch(A=1, B, A=22, B+5, C<45, D)
This gives Result the value B if A=1, or B+5 if A=22, or D if C<45. It
applies the tests in the order listed so the first one that is true
determines the value (in other words, if A=1 and C<45, Result is B - not D)

Or there is the Select Case Statement:
Select Case Range("A1").Value
Case 1
Range("B23").Value
Case 2
Range("C24").Value
etc.
End Select

You use If ElseIf in the following manner:

Sub UseIfElseIf()
With Range("A1")
If .Value = 1 Then
'do something
ElseIf .Value = 2 Then
'do something else
ElseIf .Value = 3 Then
'do something else again
''
''
''
End If
End With
End Sub


However, if there are a large number of ElseIf statements, and if the only
'true' statement is in one of the last ElseIfs's you'll find there's a speed
increase by using Case Statements (they both follow the same logic) e.g.


Sub SelectCase()
Select Case Range("A1").Value
Case 1
'do something
Case 2
'do something else
Case 3
'do something else again
''
''
''
End Select
End Sub
