Default formula too long error?

First, I count only 10 right parentheses and 11 left. Second, I'm finding
illegal characters:
1. The *double quote* following the text "Full Splash" isn't actually a
double quote but char 148 which looks almost identical.
2. The *single quotes* surrounding the sheet names (Sheet1 and Data Table)
are in fact char 146 instead which looks almost identical.

The above mentioned characters may look the same but are not accepted
worksheet formula syntax. Strange? Where did the formula come from?

Regards,
Greg

I'm getting an error "formula too long" for the folloiwng IF statement:

=IF(B15="",0,IF(B19="Full Splash€, INDEX(€˜Sheet 1!$A$1:$L$3, MATCH
($B$5,Sheet 1!$A$1:$A$3,), MATCH($A$13,Sheet
1!$C$1:$L$1,))*VLOOKUP(B15,Data Table!$U$10:$V$15,2,FALSE), (INDEX(€˜Sheet
1!$A$6:$L$8, MATCH($B$5,
Sheet 1!$A$6:$A$8,),MATCH($A$13,Sheet 1!$C$6:$L$6,))*VLOOKUP(B15, Data
Table!$U$10:$V$15,2,FALSE)))

I know this doesn't exceed the Nested If limit so I don't know what the
problem is.

Can I not use INDEX/MATCH/VLOOKUP within my IF statement?
