Nesting Functions with more than 7 arguements
 

Help! The current formula is listed below and works just fine. However, I
have altered our worksheet and now have 15 options instead of just 7. Where
do I go from here if I can't nest any further than this. I've used VLOOKUP
in the past but can't seem to get a grasp on how to add the formula into the
result.

=IF(D11=0,0,IF('Area Specs.'!L11=1,(D11*'Staffing &
Pricing'!$F$65),(IF('Area Specs.'!L11=2,D11*'Staffing &
Pricing'!$G$65,(IF('Area Specs.'!L11=3,D11*'Staffing &
Pricing'!$H$65,(IF('Area Specs.'!L11=4,D11*'Staffing &
Pricing'!$I$65,IF('Area Specs.'!L11=5,D11*'Staffing &
Pricing'!$J$65,(IF('Area Specs.'!L11=6,D11*'Staffing &
Pricing'!$K$65,(IF('Area Specs.'!L11=7,D11*'Staffing & Pricing'!$L$65,'Bid
Schedule'!F11)))))))))))))

Nesting Functions with more than 7 arguements
 

Since the Staffing & Pricing references seem to vary directly with the value
of L11,
maybe you could try something like this, instead:

=IF(D11=0,0,IF(SUM(COUNTIF('Staffing &
Pricing'!L11,{1,2,3,4,5,6,7})),D11*INDEX('Staffing &
Pricing'!$F$65:$L$65,'Staffing & Pricing'!L11),'Bid Schedule'!F11))

To increase the number of options, just add values to this: {1,2,3,4,5,6,7}
and change this reference: $F$65:$L$65

Is that something you can work with?
