IF function – nested formulas and avoiding pitfalls - Microsoft Support
Multiple IF functions can be nested together to allow for multiple criteria. The Excel IF function statement allows you to make a logical comparison between a value and what you expect by testing for a condition and returning a result if True or False.

Excel Nested IF statements - examples, best practices and alternatives
October 17, 2023 - In Excel, changing the order of IF functions changes the result. Why? Because a nested IF formula returns a value corresponding to the first TRUE condition. Therefore, in your nested IF statements, it's very important to arrange the conditions in the right direction - high to low or low to high, depending on your formula's logic.

October 17, 2023 - If the condition of the 1st If function is not met, then test the 2nd If statement, and so on. IF(check if B2>=249, if true - return "Excellent", or else IF(check if B2>=200, if true - return "Good", or else IF(check if B2>150, if true - return "Satisfactory", if false - return "Poor"))) If you need a nested IF formula with wildcard characters (partial match), check out this example: If cell contains, then return different values.

Formula: =IF(AGE<18, "child", "adult"). Just replace AGE by a cell that contains the actual age. In the spreadsheet below it's C2. And when we edit the age, the text is updated properly. That's nice, but we can do even more powerful stuff with nested IF.

r/excel on Reddit: Nested IFs; A More Efficient Way?
February 10, 2024 -
Hey fellow Redditors,
I am working on an Excel spreadsheet tracking state/country attendance for my work, and I am trying to build a formula that references a long list (~250 rows) of country names and their country code equivalent and automatically fills in the country code in column D based off of the country name typed out in column C. After some research and testing, I’ve discovered one way to do this as nesting IF statements. The formula I currently have started is: =IF(C94=H$1,I$1,IF(C94=H$2,I$2,IF(C94=H$3,I$3,IF(C94=H$4,I$4,IF(C94=H$5,I$5,IF(C94=H$6,I$6,IF(C94=H$7,I$7,…IF(C94=H$250,I$250)))))))) I’ve only typed out a few of these statements (IF(CX=H$X,I$X)), and after some concern about character limit in formulas, I am both tired and concerned that I will not be able to finish my formula this way as it stands. There has got to be a better way to do this, I just don’t have enough Excel experience to be able to figure out how I could effectively condense this formula (tried a couple things, like trying to reference the columns by H:H and I:I; didn’t work)
Your advice is much appreciated!

r/excel on Reddit: What alternatives exist to complex nested If statements?
March 23, 2017 -
Hey r/excel!
Is it possible for excel to look to a cell, and make a determination based on the contents of that cell, without needing to have a series of nested if-statements?
For example:
Cell A2 contains the value: "DOG" Cell B2 calls a series of rules that are specific to "DOG", and calculates.
Because my list of calculation determinants (DOGs) is long, and the calculations they are associated with can vary widely, I would prefer not to use a difficult-to-audit complex 'if' statement. But I'm not sure what other avenues are open to me.
EDIT: To be clear, I need something that will call an active formula. I don't think I can accomplish that with a vlookup or index/match (but if it's possible please let me know!).
Help!

You could do a vlookup to another hidden tab that contains the rules. So your cell has: =vlookup(a1,hiddentab!a:b,2) And then on the hidden tab you have dog in cell a1, and the dog rules in b1. And cat in a2, and cat rules in b2. If you want it to actually run the code it finds, look up the stackexchange post titled "is it possible to use vlookup to return a formula" (am mobile, difficult to link)

December 20, 2024 - So we need to use Nested IFs to try multiple criteria. We must open the IF condition and pass the first test, i.e., whether the score is >=585. If the above logical test is "TRUE," we need the result as "Dist." So, we must enter the result in double-quotes. The next argument is if the value or test is "FALSE." If the test is "FALSE," we have four more conditions to test, so we must open one more IF condition in Excel in the next argument.
