Is there any easy way or existing tool that enables you to look at and resolve long complex formulas i.e.
=IF($I1273="Bmk",AW1273,IF(ISNUMBER(AJ1273),AJ1273,IF(AND($I1273="GenFollowerDerv",$B1273=1),BI1273,IF(LEFT($I1273,11)="GenFollower",IF(INDEX(rgCurveSpreadORides,MATCH($J1273,rgCurveIDs,0),MATCH(AW$9,rgCurveSpreadORidesColHeaders,0))="",((SUMIF(rgCurveIDs,$J1273,OFFSET(rgCurveSpreads,0,MATCH(BU$9,rgCurveSpreadsColHeaders,0)-1,ROWS(rgCurveSpreads),1))/(COUNTIF(rgCurveIDs,$J1273)-1))*INDEX(rgCurveScaleFactors,MATCH($J1273,rgCurveIDs,0),MATCH(BU$11,rgCurveScaleFactorsColHeaders,0))+INDEX(rgCurveTweakFactors,MATCH($J1273,rgCurveIDs,0),MATCH(BU$11,rgCurveTweakFactorsColHeaders,0)))*V1273+AC1273,INDEX(rgCurveSpreadORides,MATCH($J1273,rgCurveIDs,0),MATCH(AW$9,rgCurveSpreadORidesColHeaders,0))*V1273+$AC1273),(SUMIF(rgCurveIDs,$O1273,OFFSET(rgCurveSpreads,0,MATCH(BU$9,rgCurveSpreadsColHeaders,0)-1,ROWS(rgCurveSpreads),1))/(COUNTIF(rgCurveIDs,$O1273)-1))*V1273+$AC1273))))

That's some formula. One way might be to break it up, putting each IF statement in a Different Cell. If you name each Cell, you can rewrite your formula using the named ranges in of each cell. This should allow you to see where the formula gets off the track

Just a thought

Just curious, what does this formula do for you?
