Help Tidying up formula

Hi,

I'm trying to minimise the size of a file by trimming down the formulae.
Would anybody have any suggestions on the following

=IF($E12="","",IF(Reintype($E12)="Assumed",VLOOKUP($B$6&G12,[Data.xls]DECAP_ALL2!A:W,17+($I12-1),FALSE),IF(Reintype($E12)="Ceded",VLOOKUP($B$6&$G12,[Data.xls]DECAP_ALL2!A:W,17+($I12-1),FALSE),"")))

(note: "Reintype" is a user define function whcih tests to see if the
content of Exx is within certain ranges of numbers
 
One suggestion

=IF($E12="","",IF(OR(Reintype($E12)="Assumed",Reintype($E12)="Ceded"),VLOOKU
P($B$6&$G12,[Data.xls]DECAP_ALL2!A:W,17+($I12-1),FALSE),""))

Thanks for the reply Bob. I made a mistake in the formula though so I'll try
that again. The difference is depending on whether the result is Assumed or
Ceded there is a different lookup reference i.e. if assumed return index 15,
if Ceded return index 17+($I12-1)

The formula should have read:

=IF($E12="","",IF(Reintype($E12)="Assumed",VLOOKUP($B$6&G12,[Data.xls]DECAP_ALL2!A:W,15,FALSE),IF(Reintype($E12)="Ceded",VLOOKUP($B$6&$G12,[Data.xls]DECAP_ALL2!A:W,17+($I12-1),FALSE),"")))

Thanks Again
 
Paul,
if the only options fo Reintype(E12) are blank, "Assumed" and "Ceded"
then the following should do.

=IF($E12="","", VLOOKUP($B$6&G12,[Data.xls]DECAP­_ALL2!A:W,
IF(Reintype($E12)="Assumed", 15, 17+($I12-1)), FALSE))
