"IF" Statement Problem
 

I'm trying to do nested IF's, when I run each if statement seperately they work fine, but when I merge them into one line of code they give me #Value error. Any help would be appreciated!

Here's the 3 specific lines:

=IF('Requestor Information'!E28<"",'Requestor Information'!E28)

=IF(AND(C5<0,'Requestor Information'!G35="Yes"),SUM('Requestor Information'!E28+7+3))

=IF(AND(C5<0,(OR('Requestor Information'!G35="No",'Requestor Information'!G35=""))),SUM('Requestor Information'!E28+7+1))


Putting them together --
=IF('Requestor Information'!E28<"",'Requestor Information'!E28),IF(AND(C5<0,'Requestor Information'!G35="Yes"),SUM('Requestor Information'!E28+7+3)),IF(AND(C5<0,(OR('Requestor Information'!G35="No",'Requestor Information'!G35=""))),SUM('Requestor Information'!E28+7+1))

I also want to add another bit of code that says if any of the numbers returned are < 10 then the cell will = 10... I haven't even looked at that yet until I can get the other problem resolved!!!

"IF" Statement Problem
 

Putting them together --
=IF('Requestor Information'!E28<"",'Requestor
Information'!E28),IF(AND(C5<0,'Requestor
Information'!G35="Yes"),SUM('Requestor
Information'!E28+7+3)),IF(AND(C5<0,(OR('Requestor
Information'!G35="No",'Requestor Information'!G35=""))),SUM('Requestor
Information'!E28+7+1))

lajohn,
You are closing the parentheses too quickly. For a nested if w/ 3
outcomes you have the following:

=IF(cond1, outcome1, IF(cond2, outcome2, outcome3))

What you are doing:

=IF(cond1, outcome1),IF(cond2,outcome2),IF(...

As you see your are finishing your IF too quickly. Correcting your
formula:

=IF('Requestor Information'!E28<"",'Requestor
Information'!E28,IF(AND(C5<0,'Requestor
Information'!G35="Yes"),SUM('Requestor
Information'!E28+7+3),IF(AND(C5<0,OR('Requestor
Information'!G35="No",'Requestor Information'!G35="")),SUM('Requestor
Information'!E28+7+1))))

How about:

=IF('Requestor Information'!E28<"",'Requestor Information'!E28,0)+IF(C5<0,IF('Requestor
Information'!G35="Yes",10,IF(OR('Requestor Information'!G35="No",'Requestor
Information'!G35=""),8,0)))

But it is far better to put your problem into words....

"IF" Statement Problem
 

Thats excactly what you do! You just have to work on the rest when you put
them togethter and put it in a column, well.... Microsoft Excel probably
won't read it because it is to much, so you need to work on getting it
smaller some how. You need to go to http://www.micexcelhelp.com/column.help
and they should list some solutions. :] Hope it works for you!
