Hi
I have a formula I use 5 times but I want to nest them into one formula but
I cannot get anywhere.

The formulas are

=IF(AND((C3<=F2),(D3>F2)),"on","off")
=IF(AND((C4<=F2),(D4>F2)),"on","off")
=IF(AND((C5<=F2),(D5>F2)),"on","off")
=IF(AND((C6<=F2),(D6>F2)),"on","off")
=IF(AND((C7<=F2),(D7>F2)),"on","off")

By calling the functions A, B,C etc a phonetic description would be

if A or B or C or D or E is true then put "on" otherwise put "off"

Can anyone nest this for me as I have spent a day and got nowhere.

TIA

Kenny

Not having ctual figures to work on, I'm not sure this is what you want , but
worth a try:
=IF(OR(AND((C3<=F2),(D3>F2)),AND((C4<=F2),(D4>F2)),AND((C5<=F2),(D5>F2)),AND((C6<=F2),(D6>F2)),AND((C7<=F2),(D7>F2))),"on","off")
Of course, all in one formula, no line breaks or spaces.

Try this with fewer key strokes

=IF(AND(C3:C7<=F2,D3:D7>=F2),"on","off")
It's an array formula, you have to comit with Ctrl+Shift+Enter (not just
enter)
