Multiple IF criteria
I have a spreadsheet that is just ghastly to work with. One row of data can
have up to 7 possible choices and of those choices the codes that have to be entered crosswalk to a different set of reporting codes. I was thinking of using an IF command but how do I do this when I have 7 possible criteria? I don't like copying/pasting as the list is quite lengthy nor do I want to have to filter and copy/paste either. The example I have is say a cell, say A1 has data: abcd - efgh and the crosswalk number for this exact set is 001 2 3455 (with spaces between numbers). I have to submit this report quarterly to the State and I can't take it anymore!! Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. Karen |
You need a vlookup, Karen. Try this:

Karen,
Could you use a VLOOKUP function? For instance. Have a sheet with 2 columns...one would have abcd - efgh and the other would have 001 2 3455. Then on your report, you could just use a VLOOKUP function in the column next to the value you need to reference and it would return the correct value.
