Nested If Formula Problem

[K Jenkins]

Hi all,

I have a problem with a nested if formula where what I need is a number to appear i a column depending on the numbers founds in another column.

I think I have something wrong in the formula because it does not work like that.
If someone could help me it would be much appreciated.

The formula looks like this.
=IF($G3>=100;$L$4;IF($G3>=200;$L$5;IF($G3>=300;$L$3;IF($G3>=600;$L$6;IF($G3>=700;$L$7;IF($G3>=400;$L$4))))))

Thanks.

Hi, you need to re-order your nested IF() functions so the largest test is first (i.e. ,G3>=700) and the rest run in descending order - at the moment, the first test (i.e. ">= 100") also captures all the preceding tests.

Here is an alternative you can also try.

=CHOOSE(MATCH($G3,{100,200,300,400,600,700}),$L$4,$L$5,$L$3,$L$4,$L$6,$L$7)

When you're checking >= you have to start with the largest number because if it is more than 700 it will surely be more than 200.
That's why you get wrong results.
L4 is returned in 2 cases, your data seems quite scattered but this has nothing to do with the formula. Also in the last case there's no value fir the false case.

Thanks.

you got the order of the IFs not quite right, try this

=if($G3>=700;$L$7;IF($G3>=600;$L$6;IF($G3>=400;$L$4;IF($G3>=300;$L$3;IF($G3>=200;$L$5;IF($G3>=100;$L$4;"?"))))))

fill in the "?" when <100
