Hello,

I have a formula with muliple nested "If" statements that works perfect in 2010. However, the file will also be used with 2003 and thats a problem. Apparently 2003 does not allow the count that 2010 does. I'm sure there is something much better but I'm not sure what it is. Thanks so much for your help. Below is the actual formula I use.

=IF(B519=Inv!$A$31,Inv!$B$31,IF(B519=Inv!$A$32,Inv!$B$32,IF(B519=Inv!$A$33,Inv!$B$33,IF(B519=Inv!$A$34,Inv!$B$34,IF(B519=Inv!$A$35,Inv!$B$35,IF(B519=Inv!$A$36,Inv!$B$36,IF(B519=Inv!$A$37,Inv!$B$37,IF(B519=Inv!$A$38,Inv!$B$38,IF(B519=Inv!$A$39,Inv!$B$39,IF(B519=Inv!$A$40,Inv!$B$40,IF(B519=Inv!$A$41,Inv!$B$41,IF(B519=Inv!$A$42,Inv!$B$42,IF(B519=Inv!$A$43,Inv!$B$43,IF(B519=Inv!$A$44,Inv!$B$44,IF(B519=Inv!$A$45,Inv!$B$45,IF(B519=Inv!$A$46,Inv!$B$46,IF(B519=Inv!$A$47,Inv!$B$47,IF(B519=Inv!$A$48,Inv!$B$48,IF(B519=Inv!$A$49,Inv!$B$49,IF(B519=Inv!$A$50,Inv!$B$50,IF(B519=Inv!$A$51,Inv!$B$51,IF(B519=Inv!$A$52,Inv!$B$52,IF(B519=Inv!$A$53,Inv!$B$53,IF(B519=Inv!$A$54,Inv!$B$54,IF(B519=Inv!$A$55,Inv!$B$55,"")))))))))))))))))))))))))

Excel Facts

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
Your life in 2010 and 2003 would be much easier with VLOOKUP:
=VLOOKUP(B519,Inv!$A$31:$B$55,2,0)

Thanks so much, I will give it a try. Any procedure for copying this down to other cells, I have never used Vlookup.

It will be good if you read some information on VLOOKUP like here. You can copy down any of the formula posted!
