If, Then formula

[LT]

I am working on a formula to show 11 if, then statements on the same cell?
The problem is that I am only able to input 8 of 11 on my if-then statements?
Is this a max?

I believe the max is 7, though there are some clever workarounds using
concatenated strings. However, it sounds like you need some kind of
lookup table approach instead. Could you send more details of your
problem?

There's a maximum of seven nested functions in Excel versions prior to XL
2007. Some ideas on circumventing this limit:

=IF(A1=J16,K16,IF(A1=J17,K17,IF(A1=J18,K18,IF(A1=J19,K19,IF(A1=J20,K20,IF(A1=J21,K21,IF(A1=J22,K22,IF(A1=J23,K23))))))))
This is my formula.. I have 2 other ones to input.

Example

Apple WBT
Baby WEX
Car WFG

You may want to try =vlookup().

I'd put that table on a separate worksheet and then:

=vlookup(a1,sheet2!a:b,2,false)

Debra Dalgleish has some notes:

You could try something like this:

=LOOKUP(A1,J16:K25)
