Hello,
I'm new to Excel and I've been going around in circles trying to figure out if I can even do what I need to via nested IF functions. Here is a screenshot of my what I have so far:

  1. The first IF function I need to populate in Q28 is IF(D28="N", "N/A", ""). I want Q28 to remain blank if nothing is entered (to make sure the spreadsheet looks clean).
  2. I also need Q28 to be dependent on O28. IF(O28="NQ","N").
I'm at a loss, because I managed to create this IF(D28="N","N/A", IF(O28="NQ","N")). However, if D28 is blank, cell Q28 reads FALSE. I could also be totally wrong and not even using the correct function, sorry, bear with me. To complicate matters, I am not allowed to change the format of this horribly designed spreadsheet (if you saw the entire thing you would understand). I'm learning what I can to try and automate some of these fields. HELP!?

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
Hi & welcome to MrExcel.
You need to add the false part for the 2nd IF like
Excel Formula:
IF(D28="N","N/A", IF(O28="NQ","N",""))

OMG I spent almost two hours trying to figure out what was wrong with my function. Thank you so much!!!

I assumed if I entered that part in the second IF function, then it would only leave Q28 blank if O28 was blank.
