    Excel wont accept my Nested IF AND FUNCTION

    Hi,
    My excel skills are at a beginner level. I am trying to write a nested if and Function but excel wont accept the formula I have written. Please review it for me as I can not seem to find the error. The code is pasted below:

    =IF(AND(B7="SHORT",E5="SHORT"), "RANGE",
    IF(AND(B7="SHORT",E5="LONG"), "SHORT”,
    IF(AND(B7="LONG",E5="SHORT"), "LONG”,
    IF(AND(B7="SHORT",E5="NEUTRAL"), "SHORT”,
    IF(AND(B7="NEUTRAL",E5="SHORT"), "LONG”,
    IF(AND(B7="NEUTRAL",E5="LONG"), "SHORT”,
    IF(AND(B7="LONG",E5="NEUTRAL"), "LONG”,
    IF(AND(B7="SHORT",E5="NEUTRAL"), "SHORT”,
    ""))))))))
    Thank you in advance.

    You have at least 2 " that are wrong (probably copied from Word?)
    here is another version of your formula...
    =IF(AND(B7="SHORT",E5="SHORT"),"RANGE",
    IF(OR(
    AND(B7="SHORT",E5="LONG"),
    AND(B7="SHORT",E5="NEUTRAL"),
    AND(B7="NEUTRAL",E5="LONG"),
    AND(B7="SHORT",E5="NEUTRAL")),"SHORT",
    IF(OR(
    AND(B7="LONG",E5="SHORT"),
    AND(B7="NEUTRAL",E5="SHORT"),
    AND(B7="LONG",E5="NEUTRAL")),"LONG",
    "")))
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Hi,

    You can also take out one of the redundant parts in RED from OP's original formula (OP had it "doubled")
