problem with if conditions
it seems the system will only allow a maximum of 8 conditions, is there
another way to have more conditions? Help would be appreciated. M=IF(B32="clarifying project", "task 1",IF(B32="project initiated", "task 2",IF(B32="Project Initiated (On Hold)","task 3",IF(B32="Data generation","task 4",IF(B32="Data Generation (On Hold)","task 5",IF(B32="PSCR Submitted","task 6",IF(B32="Data Requirements Issued","task 7",IF(B32="Data with Registrant for Submission","task 8",if(B32="Letter of Support Received","task 9",IF(B32="Planning Phase","task 10",IF(B32="Planning Phase (on hold)","task 11",IF(B32="Reporting phase (on hold)","task 12",IF(B32="Reporting phase","task 13",IF(B32="Preparing Submissionn","task 14","Not OK")))))))))))))))) -- thanks |

problem with if conditions
You can use the VLOOKUP function to do this. In some range on a
worksheet, say K1:L20, enter TestValue ReturnValue clarifying project task 1 project initiate task 2 ' and so on Then, use a formula like =VLOOKUP(B32,K1:L20,2,FALSE) This will search down column K looking for a match to the value in B32. If a match is found, the corresponding value in column L is returned. If no match is found, the formula will return a #N/A error.
