ENTER EXCEL FORMULA WITH MORE THAN 7 NESTED FUNCTIONS

[Linda Bolton]

I am entering and IF expression with more than 7 nested functions. Is there
another way to enter formula which would work?

=IF(AG6<6,AF6,IF(AG6=6,AF6-1,IF(AG6=7,AF6-2,IF(AG6=8,AF6-3,IF(AG6=9,AF6-4,IF(AG6=10,AF6-5,IF(AG6=11,AF6-6IF(AG6=12,AF6-7,IF(AG6=13,AF6-8,IF(AG6=14,AF6-9,IF(AG6>14,0))))))))))))

You can not nest more than seven functions in Excel, so a different approach
must be used.

If AG6 will always be an integer, then:

=AF6+MAX(-9,MIN(0,5-AG6))

should give the equivalent result.

If AG6 might not always be an integer, then you need to post back with what you
would like to do in that event.

Hi Linda,

You can't do that, as you see, but try this formula

=IF(AF6>14,0,IF(AF6<6,AF6,AF6-MATCH(AG6-5,{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},0)))
