How to interpret this formula?

[Mirisage]

Hi Excel Forum,

In the attached Excel sheet, I have two formulae (pl see cells F5 and G5).

I can understand and interpret the Formula 1 in cell F5 like below.

If A5 is > A18 then we give the command to return 1, otherwise to return "OK"

Q:
Could anyone help me to understand and interpret in words what does formula 2 say?

Thanks

=IF(A5>B5,1,IF(B5>C5,1,"OK"))...
it is 1st testing to see if A5> than B5.

If it is, the answer is 1
If it isnt, then IFB5>C5, the answer is also 1, but if not, the answer is OK

edit: I like Rons explanation better

If A5 is greater than B5..................return 1
Otherwise, if B5 is greater than C5.......return 1
If neither case is true...................return 'OK"
