Limit on Logic
 

I am trying to build a logic statement with 11 arguments. We are using Excel
2003 which I am assuming has a limit on 7 such arguments. I've attached my
formula below, how can I bypass these limits?

Thank you

=IF(D2=10,"250",IF(D2=9,"225",IF(D2=8,"200",IF( D2=7,"175",IF(D2=6,"150",IF(D2=5,"125",IF(D2=4 ,"100",IF(D2=3,"75",IF(D2=2,"50",IF(D2=1,"25",I F(D2=0,"0","N/A"))))))))))

If D2 will only contain numbers

Try this:
=IF(D2<1,"N/A",MIN(INT(D2)*25,225))

If it may contain text or numbers:
=IF(N(D2)<1,"N/A",MIN(INT(D2)*25,225))

Does that help?

In general in this sort of logic you'd be better off with a lookup function
(though CHOOSE is probably the best option in this particular case as you're
stepping by 1 each time on your inputs, but as your output increments are
equal see later).
And do you really want to return a text string as the output? If you want
numbers, get rid of the quotes round 225, 200, etc.
And do you want to return the text string "N/A" or return the #N/A error
value?

One option might be =IF(D2<0,NA(),25*INT(MIN(D2,10)))

Logically, you should use a lookup for this.

=LOOKUP(D2,{-1E307,"N/A";0,"0";1,"25";2,"50";3,"75";4,"100";5,"125";
6,"150";7,"175";8,"200";9,"225";10,"250"})

or, since there's a pattern here,

=TEXT(MIN(10,ROUNDUP(D2,0))*25,"0;""N/A""")

Limit on Logic
 

Another option is to use vlookup:
=IF(ISBLANK(D2),"-",VLOOKUP(D2,{0,0;1,25;2,50;3,75;4,100;5,125;6,150 ;7,175;8,200;9,225;10,250},2))

Note that ".." should not be wrapped around numbers in formulas as this will
result in text numbers rather than real numbers.

Screwed that up. Make that

=TEXT(MIN(10,INT(D2))*25,"0;""N/A""")

And you read the OP's mind to determine he wants actual numbers rather
than text? Or are you just being patronizing, assuming that the OP is
as ignorant of the distinction between numeric text strings and
numeric values as s/he apparently is of lookup functions?

No need to pour on the acidics.
It was just an observation point to the OP
based on the OP's formula that was posted

Not acidics, reasoned observation.

"Note that ".." should not be wrapped around numbers in formulas as

can only be interpreted as patronizing.

"Note: wrapping double quotes around numbers makes them text, so the
formula's result would effectively be treated as numeric zero by most
numeric formulas referring to it."

is neutral. Your use of 'should' makes all the difference. Or do you
have a tenuous grip on English usage?

How to have Vlookup find EXACT alpha letter
 

Tuesday Eve

Using this formula:

=IF(J8="@",J8,IF(J8=".",J8,VLOOKUP(J8,table1,2,FAL SE)))

J8 has a single alpha character

table1 is two columns
column 1 is letters a-z, and A-Z
column 2 is the corrosponding ACII code

The formula is NOT returning an exact match.

How do I make if so?

I have tried sorting column 1 different ways.

Undoubtedly, but expressed in an acidic manner

By you, you mean? To be honest, I wasn't aware of that possible construence.

.. Your use of 'should' makes all the difference.
To you, you mean. I'm sorry if using "should" somehow stroked you the wrong
way up here.

"Note: wrapping double quotes around numbers makes them text, so the

is neutral.
An alternative way to express it, Fair enough.
That it is neutral or not is debatable.

Or do you have a tenuous grip on English usage?
Better than tenuous, I'd say. But I choose to express it in pleasant
English.

The formula is NOT returning an exact match.

That's because to VLOOKUP "a" and "A" are the same, it's not case sensitive.
So, whichever is listed in the table first is the one VLOOKUP will "find".
This is where "exact match" doesn't really mean exact match!

Assuming that J8 will contain only the letters a-z, A-Z, "@" or "dot", try
this (no lookup table needed):

=IF(OR(J8={"@","."}),J8,CODE(J8))
