When you say "function wizard" what exactly are you referring to? My guess
is most respondents to these posts don't use wizards but rather create their
formulas from scratch.
Also, if it helps, nested IF functions generally have the form IF THEN ELSE
IF THEN ELSE, i.e., =IF(A1=B1,C1+D1,IF(A1=E1,F1+G1,H1+I1))
If A1 equals B1, THEN C1 + D1, ELSE IF A1 equals E1, THEN F1 plus G1, ELSE
H1 plus I1.
