RE: If statements

Hi Stephen

The Pre-2007 Excel limit for nested IF statements was 7.

With Excel 2007 the limit has been raised to 64 nested IF statements.

Although the limit is so large, I feel from experience that if your Nested IF statement is over 7 then you need to reconsider the statement or find an easier way of looking for the data.

Regards

Carlos

Excel tip:

How to select certain data in an Excel 2010 workbook

If you want to select the correct data set in a page full of data, the most accurate and efficient way of doing this is to use the ''Shift and Click'' technique.

For example: If you want to select all data in cells A2 to E10, then click on cell A2, hold down the Shift key and click on cell E10 and all the data you want to see is highlighted.

Keep holding down the Shift key and you can move from cell E10 to any other cell in the spreadsheet.
