Nested IFs in VBA

Hi Guys

I'm trying to create a nested IF and have the below but it seems to be failing.

I'm trying to Vlookup (with iferror) in a cell to the left for various words e.g. Shadow, MFE etc and if they are there then to have "INLBAMKTCF Exception" or if they aren't there to have "Error"

Sheets("LBAPARIF").Select
Range("Q2").Select
Do Until ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1) = ""
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=iferror(VLOOKUP(RC[-1],LBAMKTCF!C[-11]:C[-10],2,0),if(count(SEARCH(""*LME*"",RC[-1]))>0,""INLBAMKTCF - EXCEPTION"",if(count(SEARCH(""*MFE*"",RC[-1]))>0,""INLBAMKTCF - EXCEPTION"",if(count(SEARCH(""*SHADOW*"",RC[-1]))>0,""INLBAMKTCF - EXCEPTION"",if(count(SEARCH(""*ICE*"",RC[-1]))>0,""INLBAMKTCF - EXCEPTION"",""ERROR"""
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop

Please advise!

Many thanks
Freddie

RE: Nested IFs in VBA

Hi Freddie,

Thank you for the forum question.

I can see what you want to do.

I have created my own sheet where I try to do the same ting and to me it worked fine. Please have a look at the code below. This should guide you in the right direction.

Range("B2").Select
Do Until ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Value = ""

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(RC[-1],R2C8:R3C9,2,0),IF(OR(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(""de"",RC[-1])),ISNUMBER(SEARCH(""nc"",RC[-1]))),""is in string"",""error""))"

ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select

Loop

I just recorded it and the added the loop afterwards. Please let me know if it is not what you want.

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Showing all menu items

If you go into a pull down menu you usally find that you get a selection of items(this is the default) or sometimes everything. If you only get a selectiopn you have to go to the double arrows at the bottom of the menu and click it to get all of the hidden items.
To turn this off so that you always get everything, go to Tools / Customize / Options Tab / "Always show full menus". Make sure there is a tick in the box and you will always have every item.
