    Question Complex Nested Condition

    Hi,
    I need to update the complexity column based on the individual or combination of values from another set of fields. Please see below:

    A1 = Familiarity
    B1 = Complexity
    C1 - Stability

    Conditions and Results:

    Familiarity - High / Medium, Complexity - Low, Stability - High
    Result to Update in D1 - "Low"

    Familiarity - Low, Complexity is High / Medium, stability - High / Medium
    Result to Update in D1 - "Medium"

    Familiarity - Low / Medium, Complexity - High / Medium, Stability - Low
    Result to Update in D1 - "High"

    Appreciate your help.

    Thanks,
    Venkat R.

    Re: Need Help with Complex Nested Condition

    Try this:

    =IF(AND(OR(A1="High",A1="Medium"),B1="Low",C1="High"),"Low",IF(AND(A1="Low",OR(B1="High",B1="Medium"),OR(C1="High",C1="Medium")),"Medium",IF(AND(OR(A1="Low",A1="Medium"),OR(B1="High",B1="Medium"),C1="Low"),"High","")))

    Hi,
    Many thanks for the help. However I tried to run the formula and I found some cells are not getting populated. Attached is the sheet where i tried your solution.

    Anything I am missing.

    Thanks again for your help.

    Regards,

    Re: Need Help with Complex Nested Condition

    Look at Row 3: High-Medium-High That combination is not covered by your criteria, set out in Post 1. Therefore it returns a blank.
    look at Row 12: Medium-Medium-High. That is also not covered by your criteria.
    Lookm at rows 7, 19, 25, 40. These contain terms that are not covered by your criteria at all (e.g. moderate, very low, complex, etc).

    The problem lies, I think, in your definition of the problem.

    Hi,
    Apologies, yes I overlooked these scenarios. Thanks for pointing it out. I will try to include these conditions in and give a try.

    Thanks,

    Re: Need Help with Complex Nested Condition

    Hi Glen,
    I have to admit this requires exceptional skills to arrive at this solution I tried adding the conditions myself but could not succeed. Would it be possible to add the following condition to the existing query:
    Low-Low-High = Medium
    Medium-High-Medium= Medium
    Low-Low-Medium = Medium
    High-Medium-High = Medium
    Medium-Medium-High= Medium

    Thanks,
    Venkat R.
