    Multiple Nested IF(AND's in a formula

    Hi Everyone,
    I am new to Excel formulas and am trying to figure out a foruma to calculate Body Fat Percentage. I have two columns, AGE and BF%. I need a formula that does the following:

    IF Age >18, <39 AND BMI >7%, <19%, Then return an "L" into 4th column
    IF Age >18, <39 AND BMI >19%, Then return an "H" into 4th column
    IF Age >40, <59 AND BMI >14%, <23%, Then return an "L" into 4th column
    IF Age >40, <59 AND BMI >23%, Then return an "H" into 4th column
    IF Age >60 AND BMI >15%, <24%, Then return an "L" into 4th column
    IF Age >60 AND BMI >24%, Then return an "H" into 4th column

    So far I have:
    =IF(AND(B2>=18,B2<=39,C2>=14,C2<=23),"L","H")*OR(IF(AND(B2>=40,B2<=59,C2>=18,C2>=30),"L","H")*OR(IF(AND(B2>=60,C2>=21,C2>=31),"L","H")))
    but all that returns is a #VALUE in the cell. Could anyone please help with this formula?
    Thanks!

    Something like

    This could be simplified further by using OR combinations where the result is going to be the same to reduce the number of IF statements.

    As a general rule start with the last condition and work backworks

    Try this formula

    =IF(AND(B2>=18,B2<=39), IF(C2>0.19,"H", IF(C2>0.07,"L","")), IF(AND(B2>=40,B2<=59), IF(C2>0.23,"H", IF(C2>0.14,"L","")), IF(B2>=60, IF(C2>0.24,"H", IF(C2>0.15,"L","")),"")))
