Nesting IF Statements
Posted by Jan on January 10, 2002 11:52 AM
i have pasted this formula into a cell
=IF(D3=0,D4,IF(D4=0,D5,IF(D5=0,D6)))
it's supposed to check each box above it for a value.
if d3 is 0 insert the value for d4
if d4 is 0 insert the value for d5
if d5 is 0 insert the value for d6
what is wrong with my code? is there an easier way to do this?
thanks again

If your data is in D1:D6 and the formula is in D7, then the fix is:
=IF(D3=0,D4,IF(D4=0,D5,IF(D5=0,D6,"None!")))

The problem is i can get it to work for the first two cells and then anything after that it will not insert the correct value.

It works for me I tested it!
Check your cell format, for each data cell, it should be General or Number? JSW

try array (control shift enter) entering
=INDIRECT("D"&MIN(IF(((D3:D7<>0)*(ROW(D3:D7))),((D3:D7<>0)*(ROW(D3:D7))))))
This will return the first non-zero value, which I think is what you're after. As far as the if statements goes, you'd need to add a bunch of And statements.
