Formula working but not working

This is the formula applied to my spreadsheet..

=IF(AND(K8="X",L8=2),4.5,0)+IF(AND(K8="X",L8=1),1,0)+IF(AND(K8="X",L8=3),9,0)+IF(AND(K8="X",L8=4),18 ,0)+IF(AND(K8="X",L8=5),36,0)

For some reason it does not matter what is selected for K8, it seems to only be taking into consideration L8.

How can I fix this?

It's difficult to understand what you want the formula to do if you only post a formula that doesn't do it!

It appears from the formula that any value in K8, apart from "X" should result in zero being returned, if K8 does contain "X" then the value returned is dependent upon the value in L8. Can you give an example of values for K8 and L8 where the formula returns a result you don't want?

Note: this formula will supply the same result more simply

=IF(K8="X",IF(L8=2,4.5,IF(L8=1,1,IF(L8=3,9,IF(L8=4,18,IF(L8=5,36,0))))),0)
