Can anyone tell me why excel tells me this function is wrong????
SI(K6=$S$23;1;SI(K6=$S$24;2;SI(K6=$S$25;3;SI(K6=$S$26;4;SI(K6=$S$27;5;SI(K6=$S$28;6;SI(K6=$S$29;7;SI (K6=$S$30;8;SI(K6=$S$31;9;0)))))))))
just in case, SI is the IF function in spanish.
thanks in advance!
To many nested functions.. Excel allows up to 7
Try:
=COINCIDIR(K6;S23:S31;0)
That should do what you need.

Thank you! it worked!
just so I know, could you explain what the formula means so I can use it in the future.
The english equivalent to that formual is:
=MATCH(K6;S23:S31;0)
The Match() function looks for a match of a lookup value within a lookup array. It returns the position within the array that the match is found...
The 0 at the end tells the function to look for an exact match. If you leave it out it looks for an approximate match in an ascending ordered array.
