Hi All,

Please forgive me if I do not explain myself clearly; I am rather new to Excel. I am trying to create a formula that will populate a cell with text depending on an entry in 7 other columns. Only one of the seven columns will have an "Yes" entry. This is what I have so far that is not working:
=IF(C:C="Yes","Injury",IF(D:D="Yes","Illness",IF(E:E="Yes","Property Damage",IF(F:F="Yes","Motor Vehicle",IF(G:G="Yes","First Aid",IF(H:H="Yes","Near Miss",IF(I:I="Yes","Other")))))))

So if there is a "yes" in column C, I want "Injury" to be displayed in my destination cell; if column C is blank but there is a "yes" in column E, then display "Property Damage" and so on. I am completely flummoxed. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
