I am trying to re write a formula in Excel and I am having an issue with
it.

the forumlat needs to compare a job code then if that job code matches
(D%) it will then populate that cell with the hours worked (A5)


This is the orginal

=IF(D5-11030=0,A5,IF(D5-11050=0,A5,IF(D5-106030=0,A5,IF(D5-106050=0,A5,IF(D5-108100=0,A5,IF(D5-401010=0,A5,IF(D5-441010=0,A5,IF(D5-481010=0,A5,"
"))))))))


I need to ad 3 new codes.

010120
411010
107130


So this is the formula I wrote.

=IF(D5-11030=0,A5,IF(D5-11050=0,A5,IF(D5-106030=0,A5,IF(D5-106050=0,A5,IF(D5-108100=0,A5,IF(D5-401010=0,A5,IF(D5-441010=0,A5,IF(D5-481010=0,A5,*IF*(D5-010120=0,A5,IF(D5-411010=0,A5,IF(D5-107130=0,A5,"
")))))))))))

but is seams Excel does not like this. Even if I enter the information
at the begining it will error and highlite If number 9 (the one in
bold) What am I doing wrong? I need a way that works with all 11 codes.

If I am not mistaken, If functions can only layer seven times. Try
this...

=IF(OR(D5-11030=0,D5-11050=0,D5-106030=0,D5-106050=0D5-108100=0D5-401010=0,D5-441010=0,D5-481010=0),A5,"
")

I may be misunderstanding you, but wouldn't a SUMIF function solve
this?

Make a list in Column G of your job codes,
If you start in cell G1 with the first job Code, in cell H1 you sould
enter =sumif(<range of column D where job codes are listed,G1, <Range
in column A where hours are recorded)
=sumif($D$5:$D$100,G1,$A$5,$A$100)

Hope this helps
