How do I use VLOOKUP to nest more then 7 IF statements?

[yoshi]

Hello,

I have 12 different values I would like to return based on a range of
numbers. Right now, I have it set up to display the 7 most common of them
through nested if statements via this formula:

=IF(E5>=250,"1.9",IF(E5>=210,"1.8",IF(E5>=170,"1.7",IF(E5>=150,"1.6",IF(E5>=140,"1.5",IF(E5>=130,"1.4",IF(E5>=120,1.2,1)))))))

How can I include the missing values using a different function? I had read
to use either an index or lookup function, but don't know how to apply these.

The missing ranges and values I am trying to add are 0-49:0.70, 50-89:0.90,
90-109:1.00, 250-299:1.90, >=300:2.00.

Any assistance would be highly appreciated.

thanks!
Yoshi

try this

=IF(E5>=250,"1.9",IF(E5>=210,"1.8",IF(E5>=170,"1.7",IF(E5>=150,"1..6",IF(E5>=140,"1.5",IF(E5>=130,"1.4",IF(E5>=120,1.2,1)))))))

define the above formula, go to insert | names | define | refers to
cell where u have the formula | name it as formula1 | ok

similary define for other forumlas... then

use
=if(formula1,formula1,if(formula2,formula2,if(........................)))

You can use VLOOKUP with last parameter as TRUE...

Set up your ranges (in ascending order) and corresponding value to get in
two adjacent columns
COL H COL I
0 0.7
49 0.9
89 1
109 1.9
300 2

and use VLOOKUP with TRUE in B1 and copy down ...
=VLOOKUP(A1,H:I,2,TRUE)

A1 should have values 0-300+
You will get the following result
0 0.7
23 0.7
49 0.9
88 0.9
89 1
108 1
109 1.9
110 1.9
298 1.9
299 1.9
300 2
330 2

Index / match tends to work better...
In A1:B11 add
0 0.7
50 0.9
90 1
110 1.2
130 1.4
140 1.5
150 1.6
170 1.7
210 1.8
250 1.9
300 2

Now use the formula (In cell E1 or ???)
=INDEX($B$1:$B$11, MATCH(D1, $A$1:$A$11, TRUE))

Where you put the amount in Cell D1
