Default More Efficient If function

... I need to add more conditions so I am at the
extent of my nested if skills.


Hi. One technique when deciding what to do based on a group of Boolean
variables is to treat the group as a Binary number.

n = Abs(4 * IsOther + 2 * IsCall + IsAmerican)
Run "Formula" & n


This will generate the unique numbers 0,1,2,3,4...etc
If you can keep to your formula names like "Formula0",
"Formula1","Formula2", etc then this could be another option.
I included a third Binary variable called "IsOther."
Note that True is -1 in Vba, so we use Abs at the end.

'//Note:
'0=All False
'1=Only IsAmerican is True
'2=Only IsCall is True
'3=Both IsCall and IsAmerican are True
'...etc

As a side note in your original formula, some like to drop the comparison
operator (=True/False)
This is because your variables are Boolean to begin with. Maybe something
like this:
I've changed the formula names to match the above idea.

If IsCall And IsAmerican Then
Formula3
ElseIf Not IsCall And IsAmerican Then
Formula1
ElseIf IsCall And Not IsAmerican Then
Formula2
ElseIf Not IsCall And Not IsAmerican Then
Formula0
End If

...
I need some help improving the efficiency of an if statement in VBA. I can
do a nested if statement in excel and the formula takes no time to change
when an input is changed. I need to add more conditions so I am at the
extent of my nested if skills. The function is:

Function MertonA(IsCall, IsAmerican, Price, Exercise, u, d, n, RowCount,
ColumnCount)

If IsCall = True And IsAmerican = True Then
Formula 1
ElseIf IsCall = False And IsAmerican = True Then
Formula2
ElseIf IsCall = True And IsAmerican = False Then
Formula3
ElseIf IsCall = False And IsAmerican = False Then
Formula4
End If

End Function

Each formula is about 2 lines so I omitted it for brevity. The function
is
pasted in a 100 x 100 range and takes about 20 seconds to update
completely.

Help would be appreciated.
