If If And More If's

[alexm999]

Here is my current statement:

IF(D13="MO",-ABS(B13),B13-C13)

It works fine when D13 is MO, now i have 6 more things I need to loo
up, how do I put together 7 different IF statements?

Here's what I need to look for in cell D13:
SEND
PAID
MO
MOC
DEPOSIT
DMO
CTD

Can someone help me with the formula

Hi,

You need to add a string of OR's, as in

=if(or(D13="MO",D13="PAID",D13="SEND",....)",-ABS
(B13),B13-C13)

Hi
normally using a lookup table would be the best choice. But this
depends on your expected result for each condition. Could you explain
what you want to do for each condition

You could use an If Or statement:

=IF(OR(D13="MO",D13="PAID",D13="SEND",D13="MOC",
D13="DEPOSIT",D13="DMO",D13="CTD"),
-ABS($B$13),$B$13-$C$13)

Maybe a "SELECT Case" would be an easier manner to manage this process
Select Case [variable]
Case "Send
instructions on what to d
Case "Paid
instructions on what to d
.......

End Select

*You could use an If Or statement:

=IF(OR(D13="MO",D13="PAID",D13="SEND",D13="MOC",
D13="DEPOSIT",D13="DMO",D13="CTD"),
-ABS($B$13),$B$13-$C$13)

I believe you could simplify this a bit by using an array.

=IF(OR(D13={"MO","PAID","SEND","MOC","DEPOSIT","DMO","CTD"}),-ABS($B$13),$B$13-$C$13)

I am no expert so many someone could provide some feedback if there i
a potential issue using this method.

Good Luck,
