Too many levels in the IF function?
I am trying to create an IF formula that I can later paste into data
validation. However to keep this question simple at first, I will ask it this way. Try this formula in a blank spread sheet, in cell B1: =IF(A1=1,M1,IF(A1=2,N1,IF(A1=3,O1,IF(A1=4,P1,IF(A1 =5,Q1,IF(A1=6,R1,IF(A1=7,S1,IF(A1=8,T1,0)))))))) That works but if you add another "level": =IF(A1=1,M1,IF(A1=2,N1,IF(A1=3,O1,IF(A1=4,P1,IF(A1 =5,Q1,IF(A1=6,R1,IF(A1=7,S1,IF(A1=8,T1,IF(A1=9,U1: U10,0))))))))) ....You get the following error: The specified formula cannot be entered because it uses more levels of nesting than are allowed in the current file format. Can we change the file format? Is there another totally different method to achieve this? Do you have any remedy for this at all? Thanks for your consideration. |

Answer: Too many levels in the IF function?
Unfortunately, the maximum number of nested IF statements in Excel is 64. When you add another level to your formula, it exceeds this limit and you get the error message you mentioned.
One solution to this problem is to use the CHOOSE function instead of nested IF statements. The CHOOSE function allows you to select a value from a list of options based on a numeric index. Here's an example of how you could use the CHOOSE function to replace your nested IF statements:
In this formula, the first argument (A1) is the numeric index that determines which value to select. The remaining arguments are the list of options to choose from. This formula is much simpler and easier to read than the nested IF statements, and it doesn't have the same limitation on the number of levels.

Too many levels in the IF function?

In Excel versions below XL2007, there is a maximum of 7 levels of nesting. One way around =INDIRECT(CHAR(A1+77)&"1") -- Regards Roger Govier "trexcel" wrote in message ...

For what you posted (A1 taking on positive integer values and referencing
consecutive columns starting at Column M in response), you can use this formula... =INDEX(M1:U1,1,A1) You can expand the ending column (Column U) to whatever column you need it to be.

If that is your set up you can use the offset formula. I don't think there is
a way to get any more nested ifs regardless of file format. With the offset function you are going to try and manipulate the columns you want to span. So your formula would be. =OFFSET(L1,0,A1) This will start from L1 and pick the cell that is A1 to the right of L1. So if you have 3 in A1, this will select O1 "trexcel" wrote: I am trying to create an IF formula that I can later paste into data validation.

Firstly in your first formula you have 8 levels of Ifs, I was under the
impression that 6 was max. Use Array Formula instead using ctrl-alt-ent for more "trexcel" wrote in message ... I am trying to create an IF formula that I can later paste into data validation.

Hi Mathew,
Actually Excel 2003 and earlier only let you enter up to 7 levels of nesting, in 2007 I believe that is 64 levels. However, Excel 2003 and earlier can calculate more than 7 level deep ifs. -- Cheers, Shane Devenshire "Mathew P Bennett" wrote: Firstly in your first formula you have 8 levels of Ifs, I was under the impression that 6 was max.

Try this formula in a blank spread sheet, in cell B1: =IF(A1=1,M1,IF(A1=2,N1,IF(A1=3,O1,IF(A1=4,P1,IF(A1 =5,Q1,IF(A1=6,R1,IF(A1=7,S1,IF(A1=8,T1,0)))))))) That works but if you add another "level": =IF(A1=1,M1,IF(A1=2,N1,IF(A1=3,O1,IF(A1=4,P1,IF(A1 =5,Q1,IF(A1=6,R1,IF(A1=7,S1,IF(A1=8,T1,IF(A1=9,U1: U10,0))))))))) ...You get the following error: The specified formula cannot be entered because it uses more levels of nesting than are allowed in the current file format. Can we change the file format? Is there another totally different method to achieve this? Do you have any remedy for this at all? Thanks for your consideration. Try separate the formula into a few ones and then rejoin them. |
