Combining IF statements in Excel?

The format of an IF() is:
IF(CONDITION,VALUE_IF_TRUE,VALUE_IF_FALSE)

In your case, all you need to do is make your VALUE_IF_FALSE be another IF() statement. So:

=IF(A1=“A”,A2*B1,IF(A1=“B”, A2*B2, IF(A1=“C”, A2*B3, A2*B4)))

The final value is the last “else”. It’s what goes in the cell if none of the conditions are true.

Unfortunately, Excel (at least the 2000 version, don’t know about 2007) has a hard limit to the number of levels you can do this. I think that level is 7, but I’m not 100% sure.

Ok, Thank you very much.

it is 7 in 2007 as well.

What about in Open Office? I figured it was the same, but that proved false.

I have worked with Excel and earlier spreadsheets (lotus 1–2-3, visicalc) for over 25 years.
What I have seen with the lastest three or four releases is that there are often built-in functions that can solve your problem more easily than by using nested if statements.
Often the HLOOKUP or VLOOKUP get me to the same place as if statements with much less aggravation.

Not trying to take traffic away from Fluther, but I to go Mr. Excel www.mrexcel.com for advice when I can’t figure out to do something. But in order to take advantage of the experts over there you will have to be able to describe your business problem in sufficient detail.
