I am trying to create a conditional statement with 17 IFs. I started needing
to do 11 Ifs. I got over the Excel limit of 7 by identifying a cell in the
last element of the first string of 4 IFs in which there was a further string
with 7 IFs. However I now need to expand this to 17 IFs. I tried the same
technique of creating a third string with 6 more IFs and identifying this in
the last condition of the second string. It didn't work.
Any ideas.

Hi Peter
Maintaining formulae with that number of IF's (utilising various tricks to
get over Excel's limit of 7) can be a nightmare to maintain.
Can you post an example of what you are trying to do, as it may be that a
Lookup table would be a much better option for you.
