Default Formula not working

The following works:

=IF(AND(B22=150,B22<=159),18.5,IF(AND(B22=160,B2 2<=169),15.9,IF(AND(B22=1
70,B22<=179),13.8,IF(AND(B22=180,B22<=189),12.5,I F(AND(B22=190,B22<=199),1
0.7,IF(AND(B22=200,B22<=209),9.6,IF(AND(B22=210, B22<=219),9.2)))))))/2

However, the below does NOT

=IF(ISNUMBER(B2),IF(AND(B22=150,B22<=159),18.5,IF (AND(B22=160,B22<=169),15
..9,IF(AND(B22=170,B22<=179),13.8,IF(AND(B22=180 ,B22<=189),12.5,IF(AND(B22
=190,B22<=199),10.7,IF(AND(B22=200,B22<=209),9.6, IF(AND(B22=210,B22<=219),
9.2)))))))/2,"")

By adding the ISNUMBER and first IF, casuses the formula to not work... Is
it the length of the formula?

Carl,

Yes it is. There is a limit of 7 nested IFs. You could try this though

=IF(AND(ISNUMBER(B2),B2=150,B2<=220),VLOOKUP(B2,{ 0,18.5;160,15.9;170,13.8;1
80,12.5;190,10.7;200,9.6;220,9.2},2)/2,0)

That was quick... I looked up the VLOOKUP and still can not determine how
your formula works.

Trying Bob's forumla works with all my values except for a value of 218...
My formula should return 4.6 but Bob's returns 4.8... I will try to figure
out how his forumla works so I can troubleshoot it.

Change the 220 in Bob's formula to 210.

Is it this part of the formula that is throwing you off:
{0,18.5;160,15.9;170,13.8;180,12.5;190,10.7;200,9. 6;210,9.2},

What this does is create what amounts to a 2 column by 7 row array of data.
Each comma means go to the next value in the row. Each semicolon means go to
the beginning of the next row.
The VLOOKUP then looks for the value in (as Bob wrote it) B2 in the first
column of that array. It then returns the value in the second column from the
same row.

This may be easier to understand if you create a data range on your
spreadhseet to store the values in.
Also, this site:
http://www.contextures.com/xlFunctions02.html
should help.
The example use mostly cell ranges instead of typed arrays--the values in
the {}.

The limit for nested "IF" functions is seven- you have eight.So, in a sense
, yes, the formula is too 'long' as you have too many nested "IF"s.Plus,
what do you want returned for "True" in the first "IF"?

These may help. Your question is specifically about array constants. These
articles talk about Array Functions more broadly.
Look at the beginning of the second article for a quick rundown of Array

I had three other sets of numbers to work with and was able to adapt your

However, the below does NOT

=IF(ISNUMBER(B2),IF(AND(B22=150,B22<=159),18.5,IF (AND(B22=160,B22<=169),15
.9,IF(AND(B22=170,B22<=179),13.8,IF(AND(B22=180, B22<=189),12.5,IF(AND(B22
=190,B22<=199),10.7,IF(AND(B22=200,B22<=209),9.6, IF(AND(B22=210,B22<=219),
9.2)))))))/2,"")

By adding the ISNUMBER and first IF, casuses the formula to not work... Is
it the length of the formula?

Thanks a lot Bob... I would say that your solution is ingenious.. and fits
my needs exactly, especially with the continum of the number range.

I had three other sets of numbers to work with and was able to adapt your
method to all solutions.

Small mistake, it should be



=IF(AND(ISNUMBER(B2),B2=150,B2<=220),VLOOKUP(B2,{ 0,18.5;160,15.9;170,13.8;1
80,12.5;190,10.7;200,9.6;210,9.2},2)/2,0)

Trying Bob's forumla works with all my values except for a value of

218...
My formula should return 4.6 but Bob's returns 4.8... I will try to

figure
out how his forumla works so I can troubleshoot it.

As Bob suggested, use VLOOKUP. He provided an example that looks

like
it
will
do what you are attempting.
