how to solve if
 
A few comments.

1. Your original formula is a bit hard to follow anyway because it is not a valid formula - there are misplaced & unmatched parentheses at least.
2. When using numerical data, there is no need, and better not to, enclose them in quote marks. So instead of IF(M7<100,"8.84","5.84") just use IF(M7<100,8.84,5.84)
3. You appear to have two identical sections for Budapest in the formula. I can't see why you would have that. :confused:

Anyway, see if you could use something like this. In the lookup table in column T onwards
- List the cities down the column
- The green section lists the change-over points, starting at 0 (assuming column M will house positive numbers) for each city.
- The yellow section is the corresponding multiplication value for each of the change-over points for that city.

Then the formula to replace your original long one is shown in A7, and copied down.
