IF and AND statement

[Ward]

Hi,

Please can you let me know why this formula works:

=IF(AND(A1>0,A1<99),"First",IF(AND(A1>98,A1<183),"Second",IF(AND(A1>182,A1<267),"Third",IF(AND(A1>266,A1<351),"Fourth",IF(AND(A1>350,A1<435),"Five",IF(AND(A1>434,A1<519),"Sixth",IF(AND(A1>518,A1<603),"Seventh","Older")))))))

and this formula does not work & and how do I fix it:

=IF(AND(A1>0,A1<99),"First",IF(AND(A1>98,A1<183),"Second",IF(AND(A1>182,A1<267),"Third",IF(AND(A1>266,A1<351),"Fourth",IF(AND(A1>350,A1<435),"Five",IF(AND(A1>434,A1<519),"Sixth",IF(AND(A1>518,A1<603),"Seventh",IF(AND(A1>602,A1<687),"Eight","Older")))))))

As soon as I add the eight on, excel has a problem

An IF formula can only handle 7 if's.
You will have to change your tactics here, and either se something like
VLOOKUP, an array, or a second column, if you want to go beyond 7 IF's

The formula is in column B and in column A is a list of numbers ranging from
1-1000

oh dear, I'm going to have to think again

think I'm going to have a second column for the next set of 'if' statements,
its probably the easiest way

'if' only excel could do more than 7 ifs

Excel 2007 can.

Try this:

=IF(A1="","",LOOKUP(A1,{1,99,183,267,351,435,519,603,687},{"First","Second","Third","Fourth","Five","Sixth","Seventh","Eight","Older"}))

Hi,

Can you help make this formula shorter/more efficient - I need to go up to
90th

=IF(A1="","",LOOKUP(A1,{1,99,183,267,351,435,519,603,687,771,855,939,1023,1107,1191,1275,1359,1443,1527,1611,1695,1779,1863,1947,2031,2115,2199,2283,2367,2451,2535,2619,2703,2787,2871,2955,3039,3123,3207,3291,3375,3459,3543,3627,3711,3795,3879,3963,4047,4131,4215,4299,4383,4467,4551,4635,4719,4803,4887,4971,5055,5139,5223,5307,5391,5475,5559,5643,5727,5811,5895,5979,6063,6147,6231,6315,6399,6483,6567,6651,6735,6819,6903,6987},{"1st","2nd","3rd","4th","5th","6th","7th","8th","9th","10th","11th","12th","13th","14th","15th","16th","17th","18th","19th","20","21st","22nd","23rd","24th","25th","26th","27th","28th","29th","30th","31st","32nd","33rd","34th","35th","36th","37th","38th","39th","40th","41st","42nd","43rd","44th","45th","46th","47th","48th","49th","50th","51st","52nd","53rd","54th","55th","56th","57th","58th","59th","60th","61st","62nd","63rd","64th","65th","66th","67th","68th","69th","70th","71st","72nd","73rd","74th","75th","76th","77th","78th","79th","Older"}))
