Default too long a formula, can someone cut it down

I need to use the IF 53 times ! I have 53 rows which I am using filter
and Subtotal (row70) I need to get one of the columns "C" to enter
its text (names) into the subtotal row 70.

However I can only use the brackets up to 9 times ( I think) can does
anyone know how to reduce the formula size. I need to get A70 up to
=53 and likewise with the C column.

=IF(A70=3,C3,IF(A70=4,C4,IF(A70=5,C5,IF(A70=6,C6,I F(A70=6,C6,IF
(A70=7,C7,IF(A70=8,C8,
IF(A70=9,C9))))))))


Row 70 works like this
if the subtotal in column A row 70 = 5 then in the subtotal column C
(where the above formula is) it puts the name of the person, all the
other subtotal columns are for data and they work fine. This does
what I need but I need but only up to number 9, I need to get the
"equals" up to number 53 and therefore the C part of the formula up to
53.

thanks everyboy how reads these posts.
