    Start with this:

    the if function works like this:

    so you should have three parts.


    At the start of your formula you have four parts...

    =IF(AND(B7="1",D7="OFF"),"OFF",A7,IF(AND(B8="1",D8="OFF"),"OFF",A8,IF(AND(B9="1",D9="OFF"),"OFF",A9,IF(AND(B10="1",D10="OFF"),"OFF",A10,IF(AND(B14="1",D14="OFF"),"OFF",A14,IF(AND(B17="1",D17="OFF"),"OFF",A17,IF(AND(B22="1",D22="OFF"),"OFF",A22)))))))

    You cannot have the RED parts in your formula.
    It needs to be something like this:
    =IF(AND(B7="1",D7="OFF"),"OFF",IF(AND(B8="1",D8="OFF"),"OFF",IF(AND(B9="1",D9="OFF"),"OFF"...............

    Re: you've entered too many arguments for this function

    The syntax is wrong. Look:

    IF(lookup_value=?,value_if_true,value_if_false)

    So you need:

    IF(AND(something="this",something_else="that"), value_if_criteria_met,IF(AND(something="this",something_else="that"), value_if_criteria_met,value_if_false)) and so on.

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to make it clear what is needed. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are demonstrated, mock them up manually if needed. Remember to desensitize the data.
