I have a problem with my IF statement it wont stop at the correct answer
for example

I have IO = 20 000
Y1 cash flow = 5 000
Y2 cash flow = 5 000
Y3 cash flow = 10 000
Y4 cash flow = 25 000

Im using the following IF statement

=IF(500020000,1+(20000-5000)/20000,
IF(5000+500020000,2+((20000-5000)-5000)/20000,
IF(5000+5000+1000020000,3+(((20000-5000)-5000)-5000)/20000,
IF(5000+5000+10000+2500020000,4+((((20000-5000)-5000)-5000)-25000)/20000))))

I rewrote my equation so the numbers make sense but i am using cell
references so if the IO or cash flow changes the answer will change
too.
Using my equation the answer should be 3 but it moves to the next true
if statement.

My question is how do i stop the equation from moving to the next true
if statement. The equations are correct but im having trouble stopping
the equations at the correct answer. In this case being the third if
statement.
