Default nested function

Hi,
Excel "helped" me construct this (it told me I should correct my function to
the following)

=IF(I2="",(F2&" "&G2&" "&H2),OR(IF(F2=""+AND(I2=""),(G2&" "&H2)),(F2&"
"&G2&" "&H2&", "&I2)))

But, then it just shows #VALUE! in the cell

I'm new to functions so I'm sure I've confused it (and myself).
Can anyone see something obvious that's wrong. Is it even possible to nest
in this way?
thanks!

I think what you are trying to do is this:

=IF(I2="",F2&" "&G2&" "&H2,IF(AND(F2="",I2=""),G2&" "&H2,F2&" "&G2&"
"&H2&", "&I2))

Hope this helps.

Thanks VERY much, Pete. That is precisely what I was trying to do.

I appreciate the fast response.

You're welcome. Thanks for feeding back - I've only just seen your
response (Google Groups is acting up again !!).
