IF function - limit to the number of IFs?

[Guest]

Is there a limit to the number of IF statements you can have in one function?

i.e. =IF(a1<a10,a10,(IF(a1<a11,a11,(IF(a1<a12,12,(IF(.................. and
so on.

I seem to get to 8 IFs and then get an error.

That's it..........take a look at the VLOOKUP function.........

Thought so....

Only problem with the LOOKUP functions is that if an exact match is not
found, the next largest value that is less than lookup_value is returned....
but I need the next largest value that is GREATER than the lookup_value....

Any thoughts?

If your data increments are equally spaced, like 100, 200, 300,
etc.........maybe something like.....

=IF(ISNA((YourVlookupFormula,FALSE), (YourVLookupFormula+OneIncrement,True),
(YourVlookupFormula,FALSE))
