    if then else 'false' error

    Hi there,

    I am trying to use a large nested if then else statement. See below:

    =IF(AND(Variables!$B$6="T75",R3=1),"sawlog",IF(Variables!$B$6="T",IF(OR(V3='6mProps'!$B$2,V3='6mProps'!$C$2,V3='6mProps'!$D$2,V3='6mProps'!$E$2,V3='6mProps'!$F$2,V3='6mProps'!$G$2,V3='6mProps'!$H$2,V3='6mProps'!$I$2),"sawlog",(IF(OR(V3='6mProps'!$J$2,V3='6mProps'!$K$2,V3='6mProps'!$L$2,V3='6mProps'!$M$2,V3='6mProps'!$N$2,V3='6mProps'!$O$2,V3='6mProps'!$P$2,V3='6mProps'!$Q$2,V3='6mProps'!$R$2),"pole",IF(OR(V3=AllProps!$B$2,V3=AllProps!$C$2,V3=AllProps!$D$2,V3=AllProps!$E$2,V3=AllProps!$F$2,V3=AllProps!$G$2,V3=AllProps!$H$2,V3=AllProps!$I$2,V3=AllProps!$J$2,V3=AllProps!$K$2,V3=AllProps!$L$2,V3=AllProps!$M$2),"sawlog",(IF(OR(V3=AllProps!$N$2,V3=AllProps!$O$2,V3=AllProps!$P$2,V3=AllProps!$Q$2,V3=AllProps!$R$2,V3=AllProps!$S$2,V3=AllProps!$T$2,V3=AllProps!$U$2,V3=AllProps!$V$2),"pole","")))))),""))

    When Variables!$B$6="T75" and Variables!$B$6="T" it works the way it should, but when Variables!$B$6="H" it returns false. Can someone please help me fix this?

    Thank you!

    There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook.

    Re: if then else 'false' error

    You can simply via the OR

    =IF(AND(Variables!$B$1="T75",D2=1),"sawlog",IF(Variables!$B$1="T",IFERROR(IF(MATCH(H2,'6mProps'!$B$2:$I$2,0),"sawlog",0),""),""))

    based on formula in your posted file (not same as formula in post description).

    There is no test for BS1="H" so no idea what results should be.
    If that takes care of your original question, please select Thread Tools from the menu link above and mark this thread as SOLVED.
