Nested IF statement

What is the maximum of nested IF statement used in one formula?

RE: Lily

Hi Liliana

There is a limit of 7 statements, however if you want to use more than 7 statements there is a way around, it is as follows.

You can create a defined name that refers to part of a formulae, so by having a number of defined names you can in fact use more than 7 if statements. So if you created 3 separate defined names called 1,2 and 3 which all refer to part of one large if statement, then you can have one overall if statement e.g.

=IF(1,2,3)

Hope this helps

Excel tip:

Hiding Formulae in the Formula Bar

It is possible to protect the contents of a cell reference(s) from amendment by applying cell protection. The contents of the cell reference can also be stopped from displaying in the formula bar.

Step 1: Select Format > Cells > Protection.

Step 2: Tick Hidden option. Ensure Locked is ticked

Step 3: Select Tools > Protection > Protect Sheet

(Ensure "Protect worksheet and contents of locked cells" is ticked)
