Simplifying a formula
Hi Group,
The following formula works fine but is a bit long, particularly as I will have to expand it to comparing 10 or 12 values in the future. Does anyone know of a way to shrink it to something more usable and flexible. =IF(C15=0,"",IF(AND(C15=D15,C15<=E15,F15=$M$7, F15<=$N$7,G15=H15,G15<=I15,J15=$M$7,J15<=$N$7)," PASS","FAIL")) What it does is take 4 values (C15,F15,G15 and J15) and compare each against a different upper and lower limit, if all are within their limits then "pass" if one misses then "fail". Thank you for any help, Martin |

Simplifying a formula
You might find this easier to adapt
=CHOOSE((AND(C15=D15,C15<=E15))* (AND(F15=$M$7,F15<=$N$7))* (AND(G15=H15,G15<=I15))* (AND(J15=$M$7,J15<=$N$7))+1,"FAIL","PASS") -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace xxxx in the email address with gmail if mailing direct) "MartinW" wrote in message ...

Simplifying a formula
Thanks Bob,
You knew what I wanted even though I didn't explain it very well. It wasn't shrinking that I needed, just better structure so that others could follow what I was doing without being bombarded by an endless stream of references that would send them looking for the headache pills. Thanks again Martin |

Hi Martin,
You gave a big hint when you said ...
