Nested IF function
Hello All
=IF(ISBLANK(D2),"",TEXT(D2+3,"ddd"),IF(D2="Sun","M on",D2))) I am using this function in a worksheet to insert day of week. When the day "Sun" occurs I want "Mon" to show in the cell instead (I get a too many argument error). I get very confused with nested functions. Thanks for your help. |
Nested IF function
is D2 a proper date or is it text?

Hi,
Try this and format as DDD =IF(ISNUMBER(D2),MAX(WEEKDAY(2),WEEKDAY(D2)),"") Mike "PWK" wrote: Hello All =IF(ISBLANK(D2),"",TEXT(D2+3,"ddd"),IF(D2="Sun","M on",D2))) I am using this function in a worksheet to insert day of week.

My formula is in cell L2 my formula should read =IF(ISBLANK(D2),"",TEXT(D2+3,"ddd"),IF(L2="Sun","M on",L2))) as I said I am confused. |

It sounds as if what you want is
=IF(ISBLANK(D2),"",IF(TEXT(D2+3,"ddd")="Sun","Mon" ,TEXT(D2+3,"ddd"))) The principle of nesting is pretty easy. You just replace an argument of a function by another function. You started with =IF(ISBLANK(D2),"",TEXT(D2+3,"ddd")) Then replace TEXT(D2+3,"ddd") with IF(TEXT(D2+3,"ddd")="Sun","Mon",TEXT(D2+3,"ddd")) -- David Biddulph "PWK" wrote in message ...
