multiple if functions
I am trying to get a formula that will do the following:
a score of: 0-9 = normal 10-13 = mild 14-20 = moderate 21-27 = severe 28+ = extremely severe i tried doing an if function but it won't allow more than 5 (i think) if functions. could someone please advise if 'if' is the function to use or whether I should be trying something else? thanks heaps |

Here's one way:
=IF(ISNUMBER(A1),LOOKUP(A1,{0,10,14,21,28},{"norma l","mild","moderate","severe","extremely severe"}),"") Biff "tam25" wrote in message ...

One way would be to set up a criteria page with all your numbers
listed and becide those numbers place their outcomes. Then complete a Vlookup based on the criteria. This will only work if the figures you are looking at are whole numbers. Oz.

I'd use the VLOOKUP function.
If you have the numbers in column A and you want the words in column B consider this: Put this in column B: =VLOOKUP(A1,C$1:D$5,2) and this table in column C1 and D1: 0 normal 10 mild 14 moderate 21 severe 28 extremely severe |

multiple if functions
IF() allows nesting up to 7 deep. Others have suggested alternative routes,
but if you want to use IF you could try: =IF(AND(A1=0,A1<=9),"normal",IF(AND(A1=10,A1<=13 ),"mild",IF(AND(A1=14,A1<=20),"severe",IF(A1=28, "extremely severe","answer undefined")))) You could simplify the formula if you know that the input number is integer (so that you don't fall between your specified categories), and/or if you know that it isn't negative. -- David Biddulph "tam25" wrote in message ...
