Is there any Alternative to the limitations of the 'IF' function in Excel?

Would like to return more than 7 text values contianed on another tab within
my workbook based on one value

You can probably use some kind of lookup formula.

Describe what you're trying to do in more detail. Post an example of your
nested IF formula.

You could have a construct like this:

=IF( ... ) & IF( ... ) & IF( ... ) & IF( ... ) ...

and so on, where each IF could return one text value or "".

Hope this helps.
