Using multiple IF functions in single formula?

[Stemond]

I've had a search and found lots of threads on this but not one that answers my problem. This isn't how my spreadsheet is but the quickest way I can explain what I need:

A1-A4 - Are staff wages

C1-C6 - Are separate expenses

D1-D6 - Are each the same drop down list of staff names who need the adjacent expense adding to their wage

The formulas I need:

B1-B4 - Staff wages including any expenses they are listed next to

I can figure it out for one lot of expenses but when I get to the 2nd I start to struggle, could you help how I add the other IF functions in?

=IF(D1="Staff Name",+C1,"")+A1

It sounds like you need a VLOOKUP table rather than nested IF's. Is something like this what you are after?

Make a table like I did in H1:I6

Formula in B1:
=A1+VLOOKUP(D1,$H$1:$I$6,2,0)

Copy down.
