Is it possible to nest more than 7 functions

I know You cannot enter, or nest, no more than seven levels of functions
within a function. I need 8, is there any possible solution to get 8?

Thanks

More than likely. If you post details, I (or someone else) may be able to be
of assistance. Otherwise, "probably" is about the best you're going to get
out of me.

Some discussion here - post back w/details if it does not help you.

Here is what I have

=IF(AND(E5>91000,E5<99000),"1-50 &
1-40",IF(AND(E5>139600,E5<147000),"4-40's",IF(AND(E5>182000,E5<198000),"2-40's
&
2-50's",IF(AND(E5>176501,E5<181999),"3-50’s",IF(AND(E5>161000,E5<167500),"3-40's
& 1-50",IF(AND(E5>167501,E5<176500),"3-40's & 1-50 OR
3-50's",IF(AND(E5>147001,E5<154500),"4-40's OR 1-40 & 2-50's","No good")))

This is what I want

=IF(AND(E5>91000,E5<99000),"1-50 &
1-40",IF(AND(E5>139600,E5<147000),"4-40's",IF(AND(E5>182000,E5<198000),"2-40's
&
2-50's",IF(AND(E5>176501,E5<181999),"3-50’s",IF(AND(E5>161000,E5<167500),"3-40's
& 1-50",IF(AND(E5>167501,E5<176500),"3-40's & 1-50 OR
3-50's",IF(AND(E5>147001,E5<154500),"4-40's OR 1-40 &
2-50's",IF(AND(E5>182000,E5<195000),"3-50's,","No good"))))))))

VLOOKUP would be a much simpler construct.

It would also let you more easily see that you have some overlapping ranges. In
your desired formula, you have the following:

....IF(AND(E5>182000,E5<198000),"2-40's & 2-50's" ...
....IF(AND(E5>182000,E5<195000),"3-50's," ...



You could set up a table like:

0 No Good
91,000 1-50 & 1-40
99,001 No Good
139,600 4-40's
147,001 4-40's OR 1-40 & 2-50's
154,501 No Good
161,000 3-40's & 1-50
167,501 3-40's & 1-50 OR 3-50's
176,501 3-50's
182,000 2-40's & 2-50's
182,000 3-50's


But you'd have to figure out what you want to do at the end where you have
overlapping ranges.

And then use a formula like:

=VLOOKUP(E5,tbl,2)

bit of a sledgehammer no?

Appears to me that "LOOKUP" could be used, with "No Good" being returned
for the "gaps" in the sequence.
