    Re: ANY shortcut for this long "IF function",

    People are here to help?

    Please revise your thread title to something more appropriate.

    Take a look at the Lookup function in Excel help.

    Re: [HELP]"IF function" is too long. is their another way on writing it? pls help me

    Did you see the forum rules?

    1. Use concise, accurate thread titles. Your post title should describe your problem, not your anticipated solution. Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.

    To change the title of the thread, click EDIT on the original post, then click the Go Advanced button, then change the title. If two or more hours have passed, the EDIT button will not appear, and you need to ask a moderator to change the title.

    How about a title like, Correcting an If statement to allow for my than 7 nested If's (and without the word help). Did you look at the Excel help under the Lookup function. Create a Lookup table in ascending order and then use =LOOKUP(D2,I1:J7)

    Re: Correcting an If statement to allow for my than 7 nested If's

    Look here...

    You need to define some table with your values (yellow box in example) and then you can add in yellow box as many values you want.

    There are two approach like in example.

    One with : =VLOOKUP($D$2;$L$15:$M$33;2;FALSE)
    Second: =VLOOKUP($D$3;$L$15:$M$33;2;TRUE)

    Difference is if you enter some value that is not in the list (for example 29).

    First will return you error, second will return you first value below (ALB).
    But for that your values must be sorted in ascending order.

    If you enter number from a list (i.e. 28) both will return same coresponding value (ALB)

    Hope this helped.

    mozak
    or possibly

    =IFERROR(INDEX({"M AK","LIB","SHW","ALB","CLK","CB1","CB2"},MATCH(D2,{3,22,25,28,35,40,48},0)),"")

    And yes; in this forum you need to comply to the rules you agree to before your threads are answer.

    Hi

    Take a look at the attached workbook.
    I have placed all your values on Sheet 2, and then used a Vlookup formula
    =IF(D2="","",VLOOKUP(D2,Sheet2!A:B,2,0))

    Hi
    If you are referring to my posting, then nothing was showing up on my machine after the last post by the OP, complaining nobody was answering.

    After posting my answer, the other postings showed up.
    I guess refreshing was not working correctly when I had clicked on NewPosts.
