Hi. I'm creating a spreadsheet for a music group that pays tutor expenses for travel. For a round trip up to 200 miles the standard payment is £25, for a round trip of between 200 and 400 miles its £50, and anything over a 400 mile round trip pays £100. What I want is to be able to enter the mileage in one cell (D15) and use a nested IF function to automatically add the payment in another cell. I've created a nested iF function,

=IF(D15<201,"25",IF(D15>201<399,"50",IF(D15>400,"100")))

which works for the first term but returns FALSE for anything over. I'm nobody's Excel expert and can't see what I've got wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
Hi Merlin,

Try this:

=IF(D15<=200,25,IF(AND(D15>=201,D15<=399),50,100))

Hi Merlin,

Try this:

=IF(D15<=200,25,IF(AND(D15>=201,D15<=399),50,100))

Thank you Robert- that works beautifully! Its now nearly 1am; tomorrow when my brain has rested and been liberally doused in coffee I shall study your formula and learn!

Code:
=IF(D15<=200,25,IF(D15<=399,50,100))

Thank you Michael. Robert's answer arrived very quickly after I posted and I have used that; yours is different, shorter, and I shall use both in an effort to learn about nesting functions. Your reply is much appreciated.
