Hi, there
First of all, I'm very inexperienced with Excel, have only been dabbling with it for a couple days, so I know only the basic's basics (and probably not even all of them).
The situation is that I want, let's say, cell C1 to do B1-A1, which is simple enough. The problem is that I don't want plain B1's or A1's values, I want them to be applied to a formula, which would also be simple enough, except the formula they must be applied to depends on what initial value A1 and B1 have. So the only thing I could find that could do something like this was nested IF functions.
Here's a more concrete example, in case my explanation made no sense: C1 = IF(1<=B1<500;[Formula#1];IF(500<=B1<1000;[Formula#2]... and so on and so forth.
There are 20 different formulas, meaning 20 nested if statements (which I may eventually need to expand to 40), which very quickly hits the token limit, especially since each individual formula is quite lengthy and complex. Even if I try splitting it to, for example, calculate A1 applied to a formula in cell D1 and B1 applied to a formula be calculated in E1, they both still overflow.
My searches on Google haven't turned out too well, since, considering I'm pretty new with this, I don't quite know what to search for, what I find doesn't seem to be related to it and even if it is, I can't identify it, due to not knowing my way around Excel that well, yet. So if anybody knows how to solve this issue and if possibly explain it more or less thoroughly, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Edit: here's a sample of what I'm trying to do Sample.xls
