Simplify a large nesting string to use in Excel 2003
 

How do I simplify the below string to use in Excel 2003. It works in Excel
2007. Is there an easier way to get the same result? Perhaps vlookup and how
would I set it up?
I appreciate any help.

Simplify a large nesting string to use in Excel 2003
 

Hi,

Something of the form

=IF(AND($C$15<=270,$C$14<=20),"vct4482b",IF(AND($C $15<=270,$C$14<=30),"vct4493b","")&IF(AND($C$15<=3 30,$C$14<=20),"vct4466b",IF(AND($C$15<=330,$C$14<= 30),"vct4478b",IF(AND($C$15=330,$C$14<=40),"vct447 6b","")&IF(AND($C$15<=400,$C$14<=40),"vct4477b",IF (AND($C$15<=400,$C$14<=50),"vct4473b","")&IF(AND($ C$15<=450,$C$14<=60),"vct4467b",IF(AND($C$15<=450, $C$14<=70),"vct4479b","")&IF(AND($C$15<=550,$C$14< =80),"vct4471b",IF(AND($C$15<=550,$C$14<=90),"vct4 469b","")&IF(AND($C$15<=570,$C$14<=100),"vct4468b" ,"")&IF(AND($C$15=630,$C$14<=110),"vct4484b","")&I F(AND($C$15=750,$C$14<=120),"vct4472b",IF(AND($C$1 5<=750,$C$14<=130),"vct4470b","NA")

I removed a lot of unnecessary parentheses, those around things like ($C$14).
